She looked at me
lipstuck smile blushing
stop; I declared

the Beauty of her
the forty seventh time
in one night
crystal blue
eyes blinking bashful

something mythical in her eyes
something

something
luring  to a kiss

something about her
pure and clean
and something seductive
lean
raw and powerful

loving everything about her
and yet noticing
those things
little ones
that I knew enough
to know one
day I might
find

irritating

and the most
obvious one
of all

that the myth
in her eyes
was

me

I can not find words to describe how much i liked this poem . It is as if it came straight from my heart ( are you telapathic ? ) I know how that situation feels so much .
I loved it .

Reb, when one word draws you to the next word, then the next line...and you hate to see the finish, all I can say is

WELL DONE!

And the eye's have it! BRAVO!

"and the most
obvious one
of all

haunting lines here...yes, it think it's easy to get caught up like that, i think, and fall into someone's eyes and before you know what's happened...

as always, fine writing, winged one!

Thanks Doreen....

I think I was a freshman in high school when my Lit teacher read something I wrote and praised it as she proceeded to interpret it in a way completely different from what I had written followed by the question "how did someone so young get so wise?"

of course I didn't bother to correct her.. lol...

but that was the lesson that taught me good writing leaves enough space for the reader to reflect on their own experience....seeing that you did that... I'm satisfied I left ample space here...

thanks for the read and the compliment... glad you could see yourself in this one.

I had to read this twice...I think I read it too fast the first time...after reading it slower the second time it made sense....it is a very good poem....I know this feeling...it is those little things....great writing....
