Poem: Sparkling Like Embers - Nassau, Bahamas

Eyes sparkling like embers,
face as brilliant as the sun;
There is a burning in my heart,
and its telling me that you are the one.
For the first time in many years I
look through the eyes of a child.
The slightest thought of you
is driving my imagination wild.
These eyes, your eyes,
peer through this man to his very soul.
I try so hard
to keep my hands off of you,
but temptation is taking its toll.
I hear the angels singing in chorus
every time you smile.
Someday I hope to hear them again,
when I await your royal presence
at the end of a chapel aisle.
My dear, in my heart
you are second to none.
And as I peer into your eyes
sparkling like embers
I know that you are the one.
