Love Poem: A World Away

A World Away

I found your eyes so randomly,
your face did not exist

No waist to place my arms around,
no lips for me to kiss

No hair to lose my fingers in,
nor ear to whisper sweet

No one to hide within my heart,
to fall in love so deep

Your image I saw by happenstance,
a beautiful vision to see

You held me there with just a look,
as you stared back at me

Your eyes, those lips, that lovely face,
my feelings are all for not

For you are more than a world away,
my beauty from Herat
