Fluorescent Eyes

by .K.i.T.t.Y.   Feb 8, 2008


Crystal blue pools glisten
Against fluorescent lights,
As I watch his lips move silently,
Speaking words I try hard to grasp.

For a month now
His freedom of speech
Has been stripped away,
In hopes of improvement.

Whether he's telling me he loves me,
Misses me,
Or asks the time,
I just can't understand.

But I can understand the look
He expresses in his eyes,
As he tries to get
Something important across.

His tired blue eyes
Burn through mine,
Melting all the strength
I barely have left.

Pain, love, and fear
Suffocate the earnest light
His adoring eyes once held,
As he watches me watch him.

    The imagery here really captured my attention and had me hooked from beginning to end.

    "As I watch his lips move silently,
    Speaking words I try hard to grasp."
    ^I loved how this flowed and painted a picture I could relate with ... beautiful.

    The last two lines were the perfect way to end your poem. Overall it was a beautiful write. Well done *5/5*
