Notes About The Poem

Image result for images of women steel blue eyes

Striking Steely Eyes

Steel – striking steel
Her eyes demure
With a stare
Stern – congruous
Strongly infiltrated
Harshly deviated
Not from heartache
But from necessity
Crazy tears flow
Not from the pain
That crosses paths
With the hard creases
But from the nature
Of steely eyes
Crashing into oblivion
Where she falters
I hone into one
Of those fierce eyes
To stare at the universe
And its infinity
Cold – drowned below
Oblivion crushes
The steel eyes
That she strikes
Closed – nothing invoked
More than the dissimilar
Beyond the chronicles
Of lies – mystic realms
The moon casts no shadow
Where its sliver
Of a crescent display
Dominating – steely position
Not striking as the eyes
Of a steel sword
Pierces…

My heart crushed
Underneath the pressure
Of seeing her eyes
Steel – silver striking
Steely eyes staring…
