Ode to Amanda

by Christopher Liau   Jul 25, 2006


Your radiance caught my gaze,
The first time I encountered your eyes,
Your beauty never ceased to amaze,
Like the splendour of spring-time skies.

Wearing that stunning dress,
All attention on you,
I merged into the darkness,
Unable to pursue.

Despite the stolen embraces,
And the subdued flirting,
We moved to different places,
That's when my heart started hurting.

Time and space between us,
Wounds my very core,
Time for me to confess,
My feelings are growing more and more.

The night we first kissed,
My heart started to ignite,
I was unable to resist,
As we made love through the night.

Dreaming makes my body ache,
With the feeling I get around you,
For I never want to wake,
Until this dream comes true.

So don't break my aching heart,
Or steal my fragile soul,
They were yours right from the start,
Only now they are perfectly whole.

    "Your radiance caught my gaze,
    The first time I encountered your eyes,
    Your beauty never ceased to amaze,
    Like the splendour of spring-time skies."

    -I really like this first stanza. Especially the last line since I associate Spring with beauty and I can just imagine. Pretty stanza.

    "Wearing that stunning dress,
    All attention on you,
    I merged into the darkness,
    Unable to pursue."

    -I really like the last two lines of this stanza. Either she is the light and you are darkness, or that you've become just one of her many admirers. I dunno. I like the use of the word "merged", great imagery.

    "So don't break my aching heart,
    Or steal my fragile soul,
    They were yours right from the start,
    Only now they are perfectly whole."

    -What a cute ending. A perfect ending. As for the the other stanzas in between, the rhythm was a bit off, but no biggie.

    Beautiful poem! It flowed really well and great use of vocab. I really liked the lines:

    "Wearing that stunning dress,
    All attention on you,
    I merged into the darkness,
    Unable to pursue."

    Wonderful! Keep up the awesome work! 5/5
