You keep asking me
What do I see in you;
But all you get is a blank stare,
With a lot of hidden answers in my eyes.
A lot of hidden answers in my eyes,
And a lot more questions besides!
Questions…
Some waiting to be seen,
Some longing to be answered,
Some pining to be heard,
Whereas the others?
They are just willing to be discovered.
Questions…
Asking you whether it’s you
Who makes these eyes shine,
Or that prettiest smile on your face
Which keeps on losing its direction,
But never fails to find its way again.
Or is it because of the way you look at me,
And make my heart skip a beat?
The way you make my heart skip a beat,
And still be able to give me a life!
The life that I thought I was living,
Until I met you, and realized that
I was just surviving.
Or maybe it’s because of your fragrance
Which I can smell in this air,
Surrounding me like it own me!
So good, that I wish I could collect it,
And make it my own perfume.
Or is it because of the way
You make me wonder,
If you are prior to this air-
Giving me sourstuff for life?
For you are the one
Who gives it the meaning!
Or is it because of how magically
You work as a duvet?
The duvet wrapping around my mind.
For there is nothing other than
The thought of you!
So darling,
The next time you ask me
What do I see in you,
I would rather ask you to
Look into my eyes.
Because honey,
There’s a lot of hidden answers in my eyes,
And a lot more questions besides!
Questions, revolving around you,
But the answer is only you!
Or maybe the way I see you…

Good day.
That what
blinds me
the innermost being
of a woman
changes
in days
in the flow of time
Eyes the
touch the heart
like a bleeding hurricane
and other people
those in me
in flesh and blood
dwell
for years and time
and daily in
my thoughts
appear
as were
your lips
from her
wonderful figure
too intimate
tender
ready to kiss
Best regards
Hans
