A Stranger's Eyes

The eyes of strangers quietly converge
in a silent realm where time disappears
as assistance comes from a primal urge
to nourish desire as it now appears
and be a guide to boundaries drawn out
waiting to feel the heart's rhythmic slow drum
as it travels through their valley of doubt
they linger for an echo that may come
acknowledge with their eyes that time stands still
and release the fear that can suffocate
yearning to find love on the highest hill
as their eyes merge they are left to their fate
whether by romance or hungered glance
this bonding need is a beautiful dance

Dear frederick, what a deep sonnet. Valley of doubt to fears that suffocate and so much more in this really stood out for me. I felt so much reading this especially the longing and time and how everything evolves and moves in life , and i felt “ as their eyes merge they are left to their fate whether by romance or hungered glance this bonding need is a beautiful dance ” so strongly!

An excellent sonnet which celebrates the beauty and complexity of human connection, portraying it as a "beautiful dance" that transcends individual differences and defies rational explanation. It highlights the transformative power of shared desire and the profound impact of even fleeting moments of connection between strangers.

Hello Frederic, I liked how your poem delves deep into the unspoken connection between strangers, where time seems to halt and desires intertwine. It's a mesmerizing portrayal of human longing and the beauty of shared moments, whether fleeting or everlasting. Your poem shows us the profound connections we can find in the gaze of a stranger. - Blessings, Daniel
