Crystal

by Michael D Nalley   Jul 14, 2009


Love it is so crystal clear,
Passion rises when you're near.
I gaze into my crystal ball
To see the writing on the wall.

Born at the dawning of Aquarius.
Attracted to humor yet serious.
I look into your crystalline eyes,
Though transparent they hold surprise.

Like pure water from heaven above,
You drench your lover with translucent love.
It's like drowning in a clear stream,
You have come to me in a dream.

    Hi, i really enjoyed reading this write; not only because its so beautifully written, but because none of the words/phrases used were actually cliche, though it was written on a common topic.

    ^^ I really enjoyed the first three lines, but the fourth line threw me off the flow a bit, because i didn't really understand it.. maybe its too deep for me? =] Nevertheless, the opening was very effective in drawing me in, because it wasn't cliche like other love poems usually are..

    ^^this was also well written, describing your lover, in a unique way; i liked how you wrote the first line 'dawning of aquarius'...thats beautiful! =]

    ^^I totally adore the first two lines of this stanza, they're definately my favourite.. but i have to say, the last line seems a bit forced, like it waswritten just to stick with the rhyme scheme, maybe i'm wrong, but it just seemed a bit off, not flowing perfectly with the stanza...but still overall its very well written.
    To be honest i felt a bit paranoid writing this, because i am just a student to poetry still; your experience in poetry are ofcourse very much more advanced then mine...but i thought i'd give a very honest comment here; so i spilled my thoughts on your beautiful write..=]
    I owed this comment a while ago, i'm sorry it took so long for me to come round to it!

    This was a brilliant piece Michael, I loved the repetition of "crystal" too, it was not overdone. A powerful and deep piece overall, I enjoyed reading it, thanks for posting. 5/5 from me, keep writing, always and forever..

    God Bless You!
