Through Your Eyes Through your eyes... I see much The depth of your soul The secrets of your heart Through your eyes... I feel all The warmth of your touch The gentleness of your kiss Through your eyes... I have love Sharing our breath Merging our hearts Through your eyes... I tell all My life given over To my trust in you Through your eyes... I offer this The respect as one The truth in love Through your eyes... I give to you The passage to me Through my eyes Mark Bohannan |

One of the first things I notice is someones eyes, if they are kind, trusting, loving, etc. Your poem described that long, deep stare, that desire, that love between two people when they look into eachothers eyes! So romantic and filled with tender love, Me liked it  |

Mark I guess I've got to say that I would like to have read "In your eyes" but maybe I am missing something here. It seeems to me that you, are analysing her through your eyes. Maybe not, the wonderful trickery of poetry. I find it very very good work! |

ethome; thanks for the comments and all I can say on the analyze thing is that the look is and was that brief moment when hearts are traded, but your interpretation definitely opens new avenues for discussion on what different people see in the same mask. |

Through your eyes... I offer this The respect as one The truth in love Through your eyes... I give to you The passage to me Through my eyes ----------- Mark, this is a gorgeous poem.. sensual, intense, and deep in emotions. the last two lines are perfect. Im really enjoying your work that Ive seen so far... look forward to seeing more through your eyes jm It's amazing How you make your face just like a wall How you take your heart and turn it off How I turn my head and you lose it all ... And it's unnerving (How one move just puts me by myself) There you go just trusting someone else (Now I know I put us both through hell) ... I'm not sayin That there was nothing wrong (I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me) And I'm not sayin (We ever had the right to hold on) (I just didn't wanna let you get away from me) ~MB20~ She says baby, It's 3AM ... I must be lonely, When she says baby, Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes, Says the rains gonna wash away I believe it. ~MB20~ |

per our discussion... back to the top... and Mark... you need to submit... A"signature poem" would be the perfect choice to reflect your work in the book later-eyes say it all-gator jm There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ |

A really lovely poem. why must we pray screaming? why must not death be redefined? we shut our eyes we stretch out our arms and whirl on a pane of glass-patti smith |

Mark this is lovely. Please don't compare your writing to "the crowd", only to what you feel in your heart. That is what makes your poem appealing. And it is very beautiful Liz |
