Dark night lit by the moonlight <br />a common mix of blindness and pure happiness <br />I lay awake, heart beating faster than the wind blows <br />a clouded mind, a puzzle hard to uncover <br />Those brilliant brown eyes appear in my dreams <br />what are these feelings that have appeared on my doorstep <br />another plain afternoon <br />who are these strangers like me <br />I'll remind myself to ask later <br />cause I'm caught in the riptide <br />the riptide of all these new things <br />that are surrounded around me <br />they came from a land I never knew of <br />but their hands are of the same shape and depth of mine <br />I've lived on this lush green island my whole life <br />I've asked her once if she would stay <br />but her face contorted with sadness <br />and she ran away <br />If I asked her...would she? <br />It couldn't hurt to try <br />but it's too insane <br />though there's a million things I need to know <br />would she take my hand... <br />What is she drawing? <br />looks like a yellow bird in a tree sketched neatly <br />if they flew away would she be disappointed <br />well I see just one small chance <br />to allow her a view of the peace and serenity <br />of my spacious world <br />would she look into my eyes and see how <br />mysterious everything is to my curiosity <br />If I could just take this one moment... <br />'Take my hand, let me show you the wonders of my world' <br />This is another universe away from hers <br />if she would take a deep look in my eyes <br />would she see that I need her <br />would she still be shy around me <br />would she see that I love her...<br /><br />Russell Nero<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mysterious-everything-is-to-my-curiosity/
