Stealing Glances

by Kevin   Nov 20, 2004


Hard eyes make destiny sweat
cutting off it\'s hands with \"covers\"
smothering it\'s voice with \"vibes\"

crimes committed in passive glancing
our lives it seems
we risk chancing

a simple look
an honest stare
at forms and faces oh so fair
we cause a stir
make pupils daggers
as if a passive look does matter

    I really liked this. I admire the symbolism and desired text you create in the piece, and I also really admire your style and format of writing. I really like the subject of this particular piece, and the way you worded is is really lovely and creates an intriguing effect. I really admired the lines,
    "Hard eyes make destiny sweat"
    and
    "we cause a stir
    make pupils daggers
    as if a passive look does matter"

    I thought those were really lovely and I really admire the choices of symbolism and comparison. Well done

    Yo Blarg, the poem is focussed on how sometimes the facial expressions of others can inhibit us from talking to them and thus, letting destiny work it's magic through human interaction.

    Obviously... : )
