The Ferry

I first saw you on the ferry 

A really long time ago 

Eyes laughing, so merry

No sadness , heartache or woe

Endlessly avoiding your gaze

I didn’t want you to see

My mind empty, as in haze

Thinking what had become of to me?

Words written dancing on the screen

Stories told, given half a chance

Lies of the life so serene

Fables of life filled with romance

You always saw into my very soul

You possess  that power over me

Knees weak as a newborn foal

Wondering what this time you’d see

Do you see me sitting here?

Lost in  thought of you

Are you coming closer, near

With dark  eyes, so true
