Cyrano’s Apprentice

By Cal Evans

It was your eyes that I first noticed.
It’s like they are two galaxies,
swimming in their own infinity.
They are the windows into your soul,
and yet works of art themselves.
The angels weep because they know they can never measure up.

On the surface,
they are what God meant when he said “beautiful”.
Each stolen glance, takes my breath away.
When they twinkle my heart leaps,
and when they tear, it’s like a dagger through my soul.
But when they blink, time stops for that instant.

I Think the thing I love the most,
is when I look deep within them,
I see love.
Oh sure, it was small at first,
but it has been growing since the first moment I saw them.
Words fail me as I try to describe it.
If you could measure eternity,
you still couldn’t measure the love I see, in your eyes.

As I gaze deeper, I see wisdom.
Solomon, in a stunning crystal vase.
It’s depths I cannot plumb,
and it’s breadth I cannot span,
I’ll have to be content to be contained in it, as I can’t contain it.

Most important of all though,
I see you and I together.
I see the love that we have shared,
and the lifetimes we have yet to live together.
I see your happiness, without which I do not exist.
When I look into your eyes, I see my future.

In a world where nothing is real,
Never doubt,
my love for you,
will last,
throughout the ages.

Alone, incomplete
Puzzle pieces on the floor,
Your soul completes me.

My Sweetest Kathy,

Even though we are a country apart, our hearts still beat as one. Every minute I’m away from you I feel is a moment of my life stolen from me. I long for the coming day when we are together again, my soul aches to be near you, to warm itself in your smile.

I know that soon we will again be together, until that day, I must be content with the precious memories of you that I harbor in my heart. Your smile, the smell of your hair, the sounds of your laugh; all of these are more precious to me than all my worldly possessions. They to me, represent the treasures I have laid up here on earth; my precious time with you. I guard them in my heart as they keep me company when we are apart.

Until we are in each others arms again my darling; I remain faithfully yours,

A flower blooms,
A butterfly lands,
Together they spread life,
Alone they die.

You are my butterfly,
With you I have a reason to live,
With you I have a subject to love.

Without you,
I have lived a meaningless life.

A floral symphony
Butterflies flutter busily
Our love springs eternal.

You smile,
and the sun is jealous of your radiance.

You breath,
and the wind longs to smell as sweet.

Your countenance,
makes the angels weep in jealousy.

Your strength,
is the envy of the gods.

My good fortune,
is a loss to the heavens.

For truly,
an angel has fallen to earth.

Brown leaves on the snowy ground
A lone Pine standing green and strong
Our love will endure all.

It the friendship you give me,
That keeps us together.
Warm, caring, comforting,
There for me in laughter and sorrow.
My best friend,
forever by my side.

It’s the sound of your voice when you speak to me,
That makes me want you so.
Soft, sultry, enticing,
Wrapped in the most beautiful body imaginable.
My longing for you is undying,
An eternal flame burning in me.

It’s the way you look at me in the mornings,
That makes me love you so.
Love, respect, desire,
Through sleep’s hazy filter.
For if you can love me without thinking,
Then I know you truly love me.

Vines intertwined
Growing stronger together
My lover and me.
