Meti's Latest Poem :: Lost in your eyes.


Careless Whisper

Recommended Posts

Walking across the ocean shore,

hand-in-hand, our love strolls ever more.

Alone we'll be, as if destiny was made,

For us to be together with only love and all else fade.

 

Your eyes are the fruit of my attention,

as they twinkle like the stars within the twilight sky.

As if your beauty can't shine any brighter

than the very light within our joyous cry.

 

As it always will strike me,

this love of ours will pierce like spears,

into the hearts of us two lovers,

with only the communication of tears.

 

Your sight is all I shall crave,

along with your love above the skies,

as I hope to never find the key

because I am lost in your eyes.

 

yeah...just a little poem that I wrote for my girlfriend, Abbie. it's fitting in my opinion, becasue she was crying with joy when I asked her to be mine. :)

I'm glad that you have a girlfriend now and she surely likes this.=3 Thus, I will try not to sound too harsh, simply out of respect for your feelings.

First point, I'm not an aestheticist, but the randomness of the form is quite picking me. The length of your stanzas and effort to make them rhyme show that you did pay some attention to the overall structure, yet the rhythme and rhymes are disposed in a rather random way.

About the content, it goes without saying that there are some admirable intents behind the verses, however, the problem with lvoe poems is that they are often cliched. The imagery here only ranges from the sky to the eyes and is developped rather poorly. I don't have any problems with the 2nd and 4th stanzas, they are even rather good, but for the rest, you visibly focussed too much on making the verses rhyme.

On a whole, this poem is better than the last one you posted (the captain's prophecy thing which was so shoddy that I didn't even comment) and it's definitely very touching, but it needs some work.
