Poem Commentary

I'm so sorry! I haven't uploaded any poems lately at all~~ I promise I'll put more up soon! :O Anyway, this is a sonnet. I love doing sonnets, but I really don't have a grip on iambic pentameter, so I have yet to tackle that aspect of sonnets. Also as of lately I've noticed that everybody has their own interesting spin on sonnets, like how they lay out the poem and stuff. Like I was rereading one of my friends poems and I was like "...wait! This is a sonnet!?" I couldn't even tell. Critiques, as always, are welcome.

The funneling eye skews each changing sight;
All the horizons melted into one.
Shuffling through the city, lost in it's light,
surrounded by silhoettes' foreign tongue:
This city reminded me, though far-off,
of a memory -- or dream -- that fell out
into unknown; Something that was forgot
and buried from itself, below such long
tales which grew the confusing and the new.
If life was a dream, some city-goer
would at least speak to me, instead of view
me with distrust. Times have changed, turned over.
               Cold may it be in the busiest place,
               as people search for missing links of grace.

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
