Words Have Eyes That Sing

Do you turn away from eyes that sing on nights filled with emotion
Never wondering if you could drown in your imagination
Without understanding all the poetry that dances in your heart
Warming words of choice, in your tongue of fascination

Do your hours exist in a sky familiar with moments such as these
Is there nowhere to look for heaven free of possession
Where words do not cry out to be contemplated by your pen
To become lovely music giving light to your obsession

Can one learn to be absent from this transparent house of glass  
And remove this flowing ink that runs within their veins
Still breathe without giving out a subtle handful of their soul
Each time a word calls out to be painted in a refrain

I cannot turn from eyes that sing on nights filled with emotion
My heaven is this possession in which I freely drown
You may not understand the poetry dancing in my heart
Still I will write, until I become dust, in the ground

Wow I live with a person, who I know is living this piece right here... Every word every line.

I can understand being obsessed with your art. If that level of passion is not there then is it really worth it?

Opening your heart and mind each day and putting your feeling and thoughts into things... into words... this is what makes you wake up in the morning it's what drives you... I completely understand your ending.... to write until you die :) well said beginning to end.

I can connect with this, And the ending was so well said, I can say this is one of my favs from you. But as always your words are amazing, no matter what a poet writes, no one can say he/she is wrong, it is what comes from our heart, mind, soul...our words are what we make them.

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

You have given us incredible insight into the unexplored grey area in the mind.. where the never ending drive to create exists. Beautiful work. You art is indeed a part of you and you left a bit of your soul somewhere in these lines. You will never be whole again.....but will live on forever.

[Ladysue]

amazingly expressed...love that last line..a wonderful tribute to the muse...

First of all, this is beautiful choice of a painting, and it matches perfectly with your detalist yet 'free' kind of art.
There's a lot of emotions here and to give you my own interpretation, I think you're saying here that maybe the interpretations are not the most important thing when it comes to a poem, a piece of writing - but the way you feel while writing them, and the way people can feel when they read your work.
What a wonderful last stanza, and I should hope you will do what you say in your last (brilliant, by the way) line.

You have described me in my lucid moments where my heart is not sheathed by my brain and I am free to release beauty from my fingertips. You have said what I cannot say on those days where it rains behind my irises. Thank you :) J'adore.
