The color of your iris

Have you ever been in front of many people? Well I've been, and sometimes nervousness plays you tricks, ¿or maybe the heart is the responsable? Enjoy :D

The room is quite crowded
As my polished object of expression is ready
I sit slowly and patient
tuning my mind and voice.

Your color is absent,
And I can't figure out where it might be
As many eyes are watching at me,
and their ears tasting my chords

A kind of fear rises
with each second of melodic sounds
praying for a mistake, not to be made
my fingers keep touching the strings

And just in the middle of my suffering
A face shows up from the back of the place
Shining myself with embracing light
Or that's what i feel on my skin

The color of your iris
the expression of your eyes
paints the canvas of my feelings
covers me, from the coldness of my nervous voice.

Notes came out of my strumming
words out of my mouth
of a voice that is not mine
but of my silly heart.

See the color of my iris,
as warm as your waving hair,
See as my expression paints a song,
on the canvas of your ears,
and carves a message on your heart.

Now I'm glad you stare at me,
and as your attention is on me,
no mistake can bother me,
never mind a note out of tune.

'Cause we are at a look distant,
but I feel you as close as a sigh
And as a sigh my smile blows,
suddenly, filled with hope.

But then the color of your hair
perfumes the the place with a scent.
As my imagination smells
your happiness in the air.

And it does feel real,
the warm feeling inside me,
and as long as my song plays
I feel truly blessed.

Then my fingers stop dancing
and so does my voice of painting,
I look ahead on the distance,
I don't see the same colors anymore

I suddenly realize
that my heart lied to me
for I can't see colors anymore
The color of your iris.

Wow, this is amazing! And oh soo romantic!!! You use very vivid words in your poems. It is easy to picture it all.The fear, the nervous strumming, the trembling notes... and then the sudden euphoria and melody that can be felt through the music... I love it! :))

I'm so glad you liked it that much, I really can't believe you actually think is romantic. But indeed maybe it is, since I used my feelings for a girl as inspiration.
This is actually a hipothetical situation, where I was imaging her prescencig my guitar performance at a cafe. Oh how I wish she actually listen to that song I wrote to her.

Thanks for taking the time to review this :)
