Your Eyes

So clear I can see
eyes so pure, to me
holds my destiny ...

Twice I looked
there you were
but this is the day
you left me alone...

Seeing your heart
maybe they were bones
sweet and bitterness loneliness
coming close to the whirling beam
of light, molten to the freeze of anger
you altered all the grace I had, I guess I 
inherited this great hurt alone...

Powerful emotion! It seems like we can share happiness, but when we hurt, we hurt alone. Well done.

Life will always gift us with things we need/want and things we'd rather do without. No return policies on this. The best thing we could do, shine on through it all. This hit so hard. Excellent poem!

Great write. Sad but loaded with depth and insight.... I just presented my write, titled - "About ,Those Angel Eyes" However it was a glory not sad at all.

Thanks for your comment on my offering. Yes there actually was sadness in my write but it pales when compared to the glory of having had the chance to meet and know her! I like so many young men made a tragic mistake and paid the price for it..
