if you could see through my eyes
perhaps but for the single split of a second
you'd be amazed
the colorful portrait of what i see
it's emotional detail
the vividness of its attraction
and intensity of it's beauty

if you could see through my eyes
only if in a moment of a chance of glance
you'd be transfixed
the radience of a wish's purity
a likenness to a glowing butterfly
clarity unbelievable in a mere snapshot
and such an image of overwhelm

if you could see through my eyes
even as a one-time peripheral vision
you'd be forever mine
the promise of all i have
a guarantee of hope imprinted forever
it's value increasing daily with enlargements
further detailing my love for you.

if you could...

i'll always need a friend, one i can defend.

Kodak, Minolta, Olympus, Canon, HP, and all the rest ain't got a thing on you. Your pictures come out in such vibrant detail that I want an EveGnosis camera!
Awesome poem of love, yet left somewhat dark (i.e. "underexposed" lol) by leaving it at "if you could..."

That was really cool Eve. If people could look through my eyes, would they be unhappy about how I see them? or would they think I've done them justice. Your eyes are the second, I hope mine are too. Your writing is beautiful too.

"its value increasing daily with enlargements"
Your simile of your sight being like a
picture perfect portrait was well done.
Beautiful, indeed.

I just read it again, and its cool how you poured your heart out, one drop at a time, and then let it sit like you were wanting for someone to pour back into you.
