You’ll find full guidelines on the TLT page – here’s the tl;dr:

  • Write three lines inspired by the photo prompt (& give them a title if possible).
  • Link back to this post (& check the link shows up under the weekly post).
  • Tag your post with 3LineTales (so everyone can find you in the Reader).

Watching you as you try to sneak up on me late one night and all I want to do is get away from you but, you start to move faster towards me. 

And before I know it you’re upon me and all I want to do is get out of this situation which all started with a little eye contact here and there. 

I wasn’t and still not interested in what you have to offer and at the last-minute, the door opens and automatic closes behind me and all I see before the doors close are your eyes still watching me.

I’m always curious about things in life that I don’t understand for the unknown just makes me want to know more and, until I fulfil that desire inside of me it will bug me until I do. 

To feel like I have some answer is better than just standing here day-to-day and not stopping to looking around and see what’s really going on around me.

 To reach out a hand or two and help ease the pain of others or just spread some happiness and kindness their way so their day ends on a higher note than it was before they walked  through those doors.

Your eyes

Advertisements

are on me like you’ve never seen anyone like me

and I want to say something but the words just won’t slip out my mouth.

I feel like you’re being very rude right now and I want to say a few words to you

but instead I find myself writing a couple of paragraphs to you.

As if I’m writing a letter to one of my long-lost friends.

I say nothing as I past you and drop the letter in front of you and as you say

what is this.

I say read it and find out and if your still curious about me just call or text the number at the end of the letter.

I smile and wave goodbye as I walk out that door to either hear from you or to not care that our path may not cross again.

But, I know for sure that I won’t forget those eyes after that day of us staring longing at each other as if we were both trying to figure out a puzzle and wanted to be  the one to solve it the fastest.

My eyes are

Advertisements

On you as you walk through the door with a smile on your face.

There is a storm going on around you and you just walk through it like nothing can touch you.

No rips on your clothes or scratches on your skin.

You walk tall as the lighting hits around you but never close enough to hurt you.

The winds grow stronger as you walk towards me.

Blowing your hair in front of your face and even when I fear the worst, you stop and put your hair up.

As you bend down and look me in the eye, you smile and tell me nothing going to take you away from me for now.

So let it all go my little bird and as the feathers of my fear blow away.

New hope grows strong in me as I draw you close to me tonight.

Daily Prompt: Eyes

Advertisements

Your eyes I could stare at forever 

there the color blue like a breathtaking 

view of a clear clean ocean.

They light up when you smile and dim to really

dark blue when your mad or sad.

You look at everyone with so much openness with those eyes of yours.

You never seem to want to hide your emotions behind these eyes.

You’re not afraid of being emotional and yet you are the strongest guy I know.

You don’t back down or give up on anyone to quickly.

Your eyes are the first thing I noticed when I first met you and your eyes are always the last thing I see at night.
