by Poet on the Piano   Nov 24, 2012


The shades of your eyes are
mountain ranges that apprehend
Alps, and everything north.

Mediterrean sea is aging into
the hopeful romantic in me
and my fingers dance with
their own breath-
fondling dark chocolate truffles,
fireside novels, and
silence that can be written
like the tides.

I bend forward from my seat,
taking each image from the
beginning winter outside,
and longing for the swift days

of your eyes,
when sunlight shifts, windows touch,
and sincerity speaks from the sea.

I am waiting for your inspiration
to be recognized in me;
it may not seem the exposition
of your eyes show any significance,
but they will. I know they are
a world unable to be betrayed
by time's terminology.

We will await one another at
the yarned branches of trees or
at the shoulders of mountain's side,
and your eyes will be wonders of the
world I can love eternally.

    I love how you tie nature in with love. Makes it that much more romantic. They way that you penned it gave me chills, and I had to read it three times, just because I liked it that much. Absolutely beautiful piece.

    This brought back memories of when I wrote a poem about eyes and comparing them to the ocean and the earth, except that mine was abstract XD. However, this was so delicately written. I just love that so much.

    I like the in take of mountains and the alps, of use of winter and pretty much everything about this piece. I also liked that you mention "and everything north".. the eyes are cold perhaps as white snow.. the sight of it, I'm guessing. And white snow is often used to indicate purity. So The sight would be captivating.
