THE MOMENT TO TREASURE

Don’t say a word, darling
‘Cause I understand
Your pretty eyes are
Lost beneath the weary skies.

Please enjoy this moment
We both longed for
Though this can not last
It’ll remain in my heart.

Whether you remember
The things you said
You will hold onto my soul
Lest it wonders astray.

The gaze of your eyes
Catches the last of crimson clouds
Here in my dream
I shall treasure all.

This is wonderful... I like it a lot.. *smiles*  Hope to see more of your work.

MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND

Hi ^_^

yeah, this is a good poem.. probably the only thing is that u used 'wonders'.. instead of 'wanders'.. but, could be a typo..
And.. "the gaze of your eyes" .. umm.. eyes do not "own" the gaze.. it is something they do.. so perhaps this line warrants a little bit of experimenting. ^_^

I remember u said u wanted criticism, but this is all I can find to criticise in this poem.. it is well written. ^_^

thanks Lynne, yes the wonder thing was a typo, but hmm, the gaze of you eyes, I probably need hone on my English skill a bit more. But yeah, thanks a lot for your criticism, I have a feeling that people in this site always give compliments rather than criticism, We need to be criticized eh?

Hey James.. yeah I know I have already replied to this poem of yours.. but as this is my favourite of those I have read, I'm just 'bumping' it up in the list..  

I said earlier, about a phrase in the poem.. "The gaze of your eyes".. totally ignore it, hehe.. I like this just the way it is.. and if u change a thing, debo cortar tu cabeza! ^_^ joking..
