Floating gently on a cloud....

In Your Eyes

In your eyes...
I see hurt buried deep inside.
I feel the pain in your heart
And see it devestate you,
An inner Tornado.

I see you in tears...
The memories of happy days gone by
Running down your face.
A flash-flood of grief and misery,
Drowning you in Desolation.

Yet...
You return hatred with love.
Contempt with respect:
The one who pushed you away is rewarded.
With your unconditional love.

I understand...
Your intense thoughts and feelings,
Your intricate pattern of emotion,
Your tangled web of life:
I know why you are the way you are.

I know..
Your every feeling
And why you feel the way you do:
For you are my reflection. We are one.
Your eyes are the mirrors to my soul.
-----------------------------------------------------

This is the first poem I ever wrote, in June of 1999. I actually wrote it to include in a piece of English Course work. Since then, I haven't been able to stop writing poetry...except for the odd dose of writer's block. Anyway, I just wanted to share my first-ever poem with Passions People.

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

"Your eyes are the mirrors to my soul." Powerful. Are closed eyes the shutters of the heart?< !signature-->

 May your roof never fall in and those beneath it never fall out.

Wow...if only I could meet a man who could see this in me!  You've described me perfectly here!  Awesome, as Yu Lan said!   ~~Jamie     

 "I keep breaking all the promises
That I keep making to myself
You'd think by now that I'd be over this
Instead I'm feeling sorry for myself
So why does everything seem desperate now?
I should be feeling so alive
But it feels like something's missing
Something's wrong somehow
It feels like something deep inside has died..."

Hi Lizzie, The mirrow reflected a beautiful soul.
"You return hatred with love.
Contempt with respect:
The one who pushed you away is rewarded.
With your unconditional love."
