Blink of an eye

by Kaila   May 13, 2008


Sometimes I feel myself drifting into your eyes.
My mind hazes over as your pupils capture me.
Eyes gazing into yours like children watching Barney.
Twinkling and sparkling the speak softly to me.

They remind me of the only star you see to wish on.
The only blooming flower in a bed of stale weeds.
Grasping me with beauty, I am captured.
Take me away with your eyes, somewhere gone.

Like diamonds they shine, in a pile of dust.
Pulling me closer, seeing gold spots in a pool of blue.
Those spots they speak to me like a lonely child.
Teasing me to become tranquilized by your spell.

Haunting and tantalizing me to become hazy,
as I grow lovingly into your glowing marbles.
They peer into mine as we drift into a new place.
Then you blink and I realize I am still here.

    Just a hint: It's not very good to use the same word to end to sentances in the same stanza, especially a rhyming one, because it's almost like cheating in a way that people don't really appreciate. ( Refurring to the double 'we' in stanza one)
    Also the rhyme scheme is inconsistant and sometimes not there.
    Aside from those minor critisisms, I thought this poem was really, adorably cute and totally true. Although I have never experienced that feeling, I have had a similar one and you described it exactly the way a creative mind would feel in that moment
    Bravo! another 4/5 from me.
