Eyes Not Shallow

I sat and leaned with my head stretched out... With glassy eyes I studied what was about... I placed my chin over a rainbow that was black and white... And let my tears roll down as drips of color filled my sight... As my eyes cleared there was a valley of red, orange and yellow... Nothing but smilles from eyes that are seldom shallow... Don't stay hidden or be afraid to cry... Just have a taste before my colors fly...

You know how to wrap a poem, you tease with your words at first and in the end you give us a perfect line as the center of all.. greatly written :)

I have it over in my hotmail,but to tell you the truth, I don't think she is answering a soul. It's not just me emailing her. I think something happened. But I could be wrong. Luv, Andrea
