    Poem Commentary

    A photograph, a mirror and a mother who died unexpectedly when I was seventeen. So my poetry is introspective, given the circumstances what do you expect?

    19th May Blues


    I've been looking
    Into innocent eyes
    Blue eyes
    Blue
    Why aways
    So blue
    And they looked
    Back at me
    Straight back
    At me
    Or was it
    Straight through


    I once had
    Those innocent eyes
    Blue eyes
    Blue
    Why always
    So blue
    Now I look
    Back at them
    Straight back
    At them
    Or is it
    Straight through

    Tunnels of color and light that allow loving spirit to be transmitted easily between dimensions of space and time upon this close inspection of true heartfelt reflections...of love.

    The eyes have it! I really like the idea of both looking/seeing and being looked at/seen. Insightful, pun intended.

    Eyes do more than see, especially when themselves are seen.

    I am positively flattered dear ginga. Given the circumstances, I shall briefly bathe in the glow and enjoy with a gentle smile the flow again of your kind words. Drew.

    Thanks M. It is 40 years old. I like to imagine it still has some resonance. Unfortunately for me, the event behind its creation still produces lingering pain, though perhaps not so strong. Drew.

    So sorry...

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
