The Fountain

I saw her eyes in the Fountain today, round’ them wove shimmering colors,
They bathed in the bright sunlight and played happily in the bubbly spray.
In my mind she ran and played mingling with Gods and Myth and invisible others,
Living and laughing with smile-so bright, a being beaming with lambent light-
Her eyes were in the Fountain today.

The Fountain started my daydream, brought these thoughts of her so far away,
Could there be a hint of truth in the water aloof, Something more than it seems?
The dancing light gives no hint to what it means. Should I go to her, should I stay?
I have no reason to go, no truth, no proof. No reason to risk seeming uncouth-
The Fountain started this daydream.

I am still lost in my own mind, chasing her through the inner annals of my time,
She barely knows me, probably doesn’t care about me or my silly rhymes.
And to that, I always find that she is so far away- I think in time I’ll be fine.
She definitely wouldn’t care to see me, and cares not for my dreaming-
So why am I still lost in my mind?

From Her, I can see there is no escape, The rainbow in the fountain still has her eyes,
I need to see her, to stop my rampant thoughts and find a way that I can relate
To her the problems of my state, How sundown is a painting of her eyes,
How her voice is softer than the downiest fur and to my myself I concur-
I can see there is no escape!

And now to still the beating of my heart from this moment that made me so unsure,
I dial so innocently into my phone, knowing that surely I would have to do my part.
Now so near yet so far apart, I said silently to myself that this would surely be my cure,
But my hopes fell to a lingering tone that to this coward who by beauty is cowed-
Stilled the beating of his heart.

I saw her eyes in the Fountain today, round’ them wove shimmering colors.
They bathed in the bright sunlight and played happily in the bubbly spray.
In my mind, I felt betrayed, knowing that she would fall to the charms of others,
But I would try again uselessly, hopelessly , and love her endlessly, dependently
Her eyes will never go away.
