Yearnings of imprisoned eyes

by Sunshine   Aug 29, 2010


On either sides of the window lie
long streets of lights, where life
passes by..
gazing where the air smells real
& where the dusk quiver till the
sun disappears..

where all the roads meet the sky
& where through the crowd my eyes
run by
there have been everybody-except " I "
through the breeze that blows forever
little trees dance along, as colorful
leafs fall & shiver

where the noises break the sharp
silence..where people voices make
a beautiful tense
where life makes completely a wider
meaningful sense..

there as the night darkens early
fun rests while, love echoes cheerily
through the yearnings of my eyes,
I can see journeys winding clearly

on either sides of the window lie
different images of people passing by
gazing where my lonesome can't go near
my eyes shiver till the lights of the streets
disappear

    I just cannot express how impressed I am. I would have to borrow from the master to comment on this how may I speak of beauty lest she be the weaver of my speech. To say anything less could not even come close to the praise this poem deserves. The lines flowed within their selves and the rhyme was so subtle that only a fool could think anything here was forced...how inspiring!!!
