I am a shadow drowning
in the flow of your eyes
struggling to stay afloat
the golden ripples
of your gaze
     indifferent

gently I wavered like a leaf
into your green beginning
becoming light burning
with life
a sudden burst of orange

but

through the rush of your fleeting
all dry and fleeing like Autumn
my glistening happened
to blacken
and I

faced the darkness of wintered
days without you beloved
and without you
in this blur of life
    I will stir
    the flow of your eyes

Maree--Sad poem...you are bright though, girl...not dark....I'd turn off the fire under that pot of green eyes.  This is a very well expressed emotive writing.

My kind of poem....filled with colors, emotion and terrific flowing words.  A very nice read aloud work.  Liked it very much.

a lot said in such a short poem.  i like how it starts off sad, then there is a sign of life in light. but it seems as though it goes downhill from there; in the depth of the sadness.  some awesome feeling here. nice work

This is so sad, but beautiful as only you can write--a poignant piece here, my sista!

I loved the imagery of season's and the symbolic colors. Quite remarkable.

Stir, and the reflection is pulled beneath the whirlpool.
This is a very beautiful poem, with an almost hypnotic flow, and a haunting touch of fatalistic sadness to it, Maree.
I loved it, as usual an excellent work.

You create such lovely poetry with such simple words.  How, I don't know.  That's why I'm trying to bug Kamla to help me out a bit     Maybe, I'll bug you too     Though sad in it's nature, this poem has given me a lot of inspiration, not only to write, but to become better with my writing.  Thanks so much for giving me the chance to read your work.
