outside in the rain

0 posted 2006-08-02 01:52 PM


In my eyes it twinkled like the shining star
That twinkled only where you are
In my eyes it shone so bright and true
And dedicated all its rays to you

In my eyes was where it announced itself
To me, to you, and to everyone else
It wrote letters across my eyes
Letters that were not in disguise

Letter after letter, line after line
With a ray of light that was so fine
One chapter, then another, they were all the same
They started and ended with your name

The story simply went on and on
With the people reading each line along
They all knew the truth, it traveled all around
I heard them whisper as I turned around

They told of the time when you asked me to dance
How I had seemed to jump at the chance
How it seemed like, for just a moment in time
I had believed that you were mine

How tender your touch had seemed to be
How my hand seemed to melt so willingly
How stronglyi let you hold my hand
How gently you brushed that falling strand

For fear it would disturb the grace
That shone so brightly from your face
How I looked into your eyes like they had no end
How did i manage through heartahce,To laugh and call you friend

How I had only listened, never whispered a word
How I had drowned away the world
How you laughed nonchalantly and failed to realize
What everyone saw written in my eyes

How your heart and soul seemed to be blind
To the truth that screamed up in my mind
The truth I kept so deep inside
The truth I had always tried to hide

When they snickered and asked me, I had to deny
I told them that it was all a lie
Yet they knew better, cause when they heard my sigh
They knew I was just too shy

Too shy to admit what they knew was true
That I was... in love... with you

Wow! I loved this; it was really, really, like a story to me. With "you" as the actress, narrator, and writer of the show. It was simply amazing, to me, how you were able to describe everything in such great detail.

I loved the descriptiveness a lot. That is part of what makes this an amazing poem. Plus I just loved the first 3 stanzas!

One thing I always like to see in poems that I read is good form, great "plot" to the "story", amazing descriptiveness, and interesting words, I must admit that in this poem I see all of the above!

You are one talented writer! Thanks for sharing
