Your Eyes
October 15, 2012
Like glass in the sea
Tarns in early morning hours
When dawn mist rises
Wisps of smokey gray
Ashes of a thousand years
So it seems to me
Worn and wise and well
Words written across your face
Expressive yet closed
Hidden to others
I decipher your labyrinth
I read your lyrics
You say so little
Yet you are so clear to me
Simply through your eyes

I like this. It shows how she - or he - loves the other with the deepest part of their heart. Great describtion of the other person. Great job!

Brilliant. This is really good. I loved the metaphors you used in this piece. If you want to put a twist on your writing, I think that adding a rhyme scheme (not a children's poem) to it would make it creepier. When I think of rhyme schemes, I think of a witch casting a spell. (: This is really fantastic, though. GReat job.

Yes you do AthenaMarisaDeterminedbyFate. Ha. I searched you and found you. Funny that Athena should write poems about Athena.

I really like this! Your descriptions are beautiful, and yet they still leave room for the imagination (which is a good thing!) Its very, very poetic and... dark? No, that really isn't the right word. More like deep. It's poetic and deep and I really like it! You are talented! Keep up the good work! :)
