Found

He had glaring cold blue eyes That I knew I was going to miss Some blues are clear and so alive But none compare to his I could not read his like a book I was blocked off by a wall Maybe it was my heart he took I could not read him at all I tried to find things I could look to When he was not around I searched and searched and for so long Those colors were unfound I have stared out at the ocean From both under and above Those swirling shades of denims, jades Were not the blue I loved I silenced all my hopes again And locked them in my closet I watched, entranced, as water ran From every rusty faucet And the ocean I returned to Hoping colors changed with days Greener hues and darker blues No, it all felt like it was grey Then I finally looked up from the sea Directly to the sky Recognition dawned on me I found my heaven for the first time Feathered all across the blue Were cotton candy clouds I took so long to look and look But his eyes have now been found

Anna, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
