David Byrne Poet Rhyme

"her Eye's Looked Out With Smiles of Love "

Her eye’s looked out with smiles of love 
That left my heart amazed.
In wooded graveyard high above
With Yew Trees we appraised.

We traced our roots that clawed the ground
In mind we felt the clay.
Of hearts and souls rose too profound
And toxins came our way.

In love the Yew’s are similar
So beautiful and true.
Beware the poison in their bark
That killed the dove that flew.

Doris Culverhouse June 13, 2010 at 11:41 AM sounds toxic like the romeo love...very moving poem.

Lynette Chachere June 12, 2010 at 11:50 PM love can be toxic, perhaps she is a familar essence to your soul.(: romantic verysweet moments. ~Always&Forever

Deirdre Omaidin June 12, 2010 at 1:25 PM I really think this is a very good piece. Yet there is something hidden in it that the reader cannot really get their hands on. Wuill you tell us?

Caroline Cécile Delacroix June 11, 2010 at 8:46 PM There is a certain darkness in your poem, David, like someone who was beguiled by "Eyes... with smiles of love", who feels having been fooled. The poem is very well written and rhymed. Keep writing.
