Hi - I’ve never shared my poetry before and would really welcome your comments
Eyes deep and luminous like limpid pools,
Their surface broken by ripples of passing thought.
Beneath their exterior what sentiment rules,
Depicted by the scars of what battles fought?
Immersed in this intensely captivating gaze,
I am at a loss as to whether I float or drown.
The more I attempt my barriers to raise,
The more I feel I being pulled deeper down
Illuminated by a sudden flash of thought
Your face is sprinkled with their stardust light.
In tandem, by the starlight my heart is sought,
It’s core silently, but fiercely set alight
Though you may wish to disguise your heart
And attempt to hide your inner battles from me,
Your eyes, unwittingly they do tales impart,
Secretly revealing what you do not wish me to see
Each impish flicker from a forbidden touch
Causes this liquid light to softly draw me in.
Entrapping me in a mystical hold that is such,
That struggle as I may, I cannot hope to win
This penetrating feline look haunts my every dream,
Its essence so intense and wild that I struggle to rest.
Yet from this restlessness, I find that I glean
The sweet nectar I need to face life’s test.
As you look at me, into me, and beyond to my soul
I feel vulnerable to your understanding of my being.
This understanding could give you so much control
I fear how you could use what your eyes are seeing.,
Yet I am a willing prisoner in this sweet embrace
As I flailingly succumb to the ecstacy of your eyes
You are but one of the truths that I must face,
In my quest that a deeper spritual truth might arise.
