Heaven falling from your eyes


"Those were not ghosts in your eyes
They were reflections
So honest
So true
Of the skies above
Painted
In water-colour
Of clouds
Sketched by the wind
Of shadows
Cast by the sun
Heaven
Falling from your eyes
Reflections
Of your soul"

For my boyfriend
With love

I just wanted to say it's been a great weekend and the reason for that is solely down to one person, there's no need to guess is there? It's my boyfriend, of course; and the weather has been so kind to us too, someone up there is smiling down upon us at the moment. The simple things in life are the most satisfying and I know at times I do portray us as a hedonistic couple - there's a time and a place for everything, but it's not us at all really and certainly not us all the time.
The poem just kind of sums that simplicity up - we went for a walk today and there was a moment where I turned to kiss my boyfriend and I could see the reflection of the sky in his eyes. It was the most pure and beautiful vision I could have hoped to have seen, it was like heaven falling from his eyes - a reflection of his soul. I took the photo that accompanies the poem shortly afterwards, I was going to just post it on my photo blog but that moment stayed with me and well the poem was born.
