I Wish

I saw your eyes

Staring at me through the dark

Searchlight eyes

Saw straight through to my heart

And I knew right then

That you’d change my life

I search my heart for the words to express

The hope that I hold –

The love that possesses me

Take my hand

Take my longing heart

share my days -

every piece, every part

Look again with that umber gaze

At this man who stands with his hopeful arms upraised

Who can say what binds our souls

Why hearts are taken and what strings control

The motions of our deepest desires

How I wish my words could ignite those fires

In you….
