I love the vastness that is your eyes. Beyond the always changing mood ring of your iris; Is the clearest, simplest, most stunning proof of infinity. The boundless beauty of color and depth that is your eye, Could draw me into the warmest, most satisfying emotions I could humanly imagine. Causing me to be lost, In the most beautiful way possible, for days. The sparkle, the shine, the sun, The glow, the life, the love, The joy, the laughter, The soul, The redness, the haze, The excitement, the heat, the arousal, The lust, the pain, the sadness, the tears, All in which encompass the language of your eyes. Between the intense insight of infinite depth and the Psychedelic color essence of both your eyes, with the Timeless conversations our eyes have had Is by far my favorite hobby. I love your eyes, Carrie. Let me know what you think...
I hope you sent it to her. It's beautiful. As a poem, it's a little cliched. But, if somebody wrote something like this for me, I would melt. It made me feel fuzzy. Nice.
I have to agree with red...as a whole, a little cliche, but touching. I do like how your words fit the pattern and how the thoughts get tighter as the lines get smaller, then expand again as the lines get longer...good job with form...
Thanks everyone...I'm in the process of giving her this, I bought this old antique glass chest, with a mirror on the inside and mirrors all around it. It looks sweet as hell, and you can play with the angles to get some fun effects....anyways, I'm writing this on the bottom of the chest. I can't wait to give it to her.

Well, I'm just sitting here wiping my own tears over what I just read and wishing there was something I could say that could make something better but there isn't. My heart goes out to you brother, I could feel the love in the poem and then to read what followed really made my heart ache for you. Please PM me if you feel like you need someone to talk to. I'm not much in the advice dept. but I'm an understanding listener. I know pretty much anything I say to make you feel better at this point in time will sound hopelessly empty to both of us, so all I can say is how sorry I am an how much I wish I could give you a hug right now. Much love and sympathy to you, brother.
I wish I knew something I could say to help you, but it will take time from your poem, I can tell you are a person filled with much love such love will not and can not be wasted all the beauty you saw in her, did not leave the world, if anything, it became one with the world and you may not see it now, but things will be good again. I have a girl in my heart, as well, and I could not imagine what pain you must be going through I wish you the best of luck as your wounds heal.
Jesus Fucking Christ, As I was reading your most recent post, I couldn'thelp hoping that it was some sort of sick joke. But reality is more fucked up and twisted than any joke. I hope that when you do see her in the next life, you get a chance to give her that poem. I'm truly sorry for your loss. Big Hugs from Thailand. Peace. A.
I don't know what to say, except I was touched by your poem, it made me remember some one very special I met when I was 20 and she was 17. And that was pleasant and happy for me. Thanks to you for that. And, how greatly saddened I am by your loss. There are no words to deal with such pain. But, tragedy eventually passes. I wish you peace. I wish you strength. I wish you healing. May the darkness pass quickly, and your heart once more know happiness and joy in life. I admire your bravery for sharing this very personal loss with us all.
