The Beauty Within Your Eyes

My very first poem Written at age 19. The only poem I know by heart.

The first time I gazed into your eyes,

my heart became mesmerized.

For I could see all the beauty,

all the beauty within.

I was so happy for I had found a new friend.

We share the same spirit,

always shining, always bright.

The beauty within your eyes,

remind me of the wondrous stars in the night.

You're as beautiful as a flower,

and as sensuous as the sun setting in the sky.

Forever in my memory,

shall be the beauty within your eyes.

First of all I love the story behind this one. An airline stewardess, 19 years old with hormones awry. This is the perfect mixture for a great poem. It's the ones that can't be caught that bring a great longing to poetry.

Never lose this poem. Keep it on a piece of paper..an actual piece of paper and when you feel you have no inspiration read it.

What a great story to expand upon as an actual story. try it as a short story.

Thank you so much. And a great idea. I never really thought about doing that. That could be a wonderful start once I feel my writing skills are a little better. Ohhhh....do I have some stories to tell. :)

Honestly, these comments have helped me a great deal in actually writing a paragraph with out rhyming let alone a sentence. That's all I've done for so long.

Thanks again!

"From the first time I gazed into your eyes,
my heart became mesmerized."
-This reads better without the word "from".

This is definitely a work to be proud of!

[Lyingwithlions]

Thank you so much. Now if I could only write a story 1/2 as wonderul as you do. This would make good one. :)

[Writergirl]

Thank you. You're too kind. We writers have to stick together, we all have something special ;)

[Cherry Pepperweb]

This is wonderful. Hard to believe someone so young wrote this. :)
It speaks of love.

[Lyingwithlions]

Thank you! Oh to be that young again...lol. I wrote it on a plane for an airline stewardess, she had to be 10-15 years older than me. Needless to say I was to chicken to give it to her. Thank you for reading and for your comment. :)

[Cherry Pepperweb]

Lol. That's awesome. :)
