Her Eyes

Poem Commentary

People have described the eyes as windows or doors to the soul. I took that thought and described what I'd see, if I were to look deeply into a lovers eyes.

Her Eyes

Inside her eyes,
  mountains I’ve climbed,
rivers I’ve run,
  now on clouds I ride.

She lifts me up,
  with just a glance or a wink,
crowned with jewels,
  I’m her prince -- so she thinks.

A twinkling smile,
  glistening as she gazed,
into the heavens,
  still reeling, and dazed.

Her gaze gave me reason,
  to carry on,
fight the good fight,
  a raging war won.

So many words,
  her look she would give,
young man in love,
  she gave reason to live.

Her stare falls on the floor,
  quiet and still,
her magic she brought,
  now equaled the thrill.

Deep, deep, in the recess,
  I wonder where,
oceans of tears,
  expose how deep she cares.

Her proven beauty,
  shows in that look,
she shared herself,
  outside that book.

I like this very much. It sounds like a potentially extremely popular song. It reads like a love song... Beautiful :)

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
