Fragments

Fragments of poems scattered through my pages.
Wonderful words and excellent phrases.
*
I saw his soul for a second.
The old professor smiled.
His blue eyes told the tales of days gone by.
Mind full of knowledge, head full of stories.
Familiar with youth and with life and with glories.
*
Green eyes, time flies, it’s all unspeakable.
*
Brown eyes, depth unknown.
You hide your soul in the corner of your mouth.
You turned your head, I saw you smile.
In that instant, I finally loved.
*
Words, at the moment, meant something magnificent.
I captured them before they were lost.
Tucked them away so one day, they may become something.
*
Green light at night, shadows on dark pavement.
I am alone and you are with me.
I am never alone.
Midnight breeze kisses my cheek.
Your heart beats so close to mine.
I can find you here, even in the darkness.
You meet me under the street light, never far from where I am.
Your beauty is always near.
I see a leaf scuttle across the silent sidewalk.
You make it.
You make the wind that moves it.
I keep walking, but my soul stands still in awe of who you are.
*
Yes, the words meant something.
I remember them.
They mean something.
I don’t yet know what it is.
But I know that one day, I will.
