When The World Flies By

When The World Flies By

A Poem by ken burke

You sit there with that dazed look in your eye


slowly letting the world fly by


so give me your hand and come with me


I will show you the world and all it has for us to see


open your heart and take a chance


let this world be the floor for our spotlight dance


take a step with me and let our love soar


because these feelings are something I never felt before


take me for my benefits and take me for my flaws


because the dazed look is all I saw


I walked past you while the world flew by,


this memory is all just a story that lies behind my eyes.

so sad,
a missed love,
but standing open for love,
is even harder,
dont reject it always, or you might miss the true love you ar looking for .

I like the last sentence
It is really strong
and this memory is all just a story that lies behind my eyes.

Work on the lay out a little bit?
and the choice of words here and there and it would be perfect

Awww. Quite melancholy this is.. I liked it! Nicely done! A love that passed by is hard.. but waiting openly for love is even more difficult sometimes. You hit the emotions right on the spot. =) Great write!
