A spark has struck through my heart.

Neonila Rutherford

A spark has struck through my heart,
The moment your beauty tore me apart.
The world beneath vanished, silent and fast,
When you gave me a smile that could last.

I knew, accepted without delay,
That life without you would fade away.
Was it love at first sight, a destined embrace?
No one could tell, no one could trace –
Just words unspoken, filling the space.

A spark has struck through my heart again,
Smile for me once more, my dearest refrain.
I long to hear the breath you take,
And see your green eyes for my heart’s sake.

    Very poetic words and expressions here. The eyes speak a silent language, silent but most powerful. Their power is far stronger than spoken words.
    « Un sourire ne coûte rien, mais il a le pouvoir de tout changer,
    Il ne dure qu’un instant, mais le souvenir en persiste parfois toute une vie...
    On peut le mendier ou l’acheter,
    Mais il ne sert à rien tant qu’il n’est pas donné,
    Et nul n’en a plus besoin que celui
    Qui n’en a plus à offrir.... »
    A look can only last for a moment, but the thought remains with us for a lifetime. Green eyes are a rarity….
