In the desperate hour,

when hope is cloaked

 in shadowed substance,

when worlds collide

in frantic feelings

of scarlet skies,

I walk and wait

and listen for life,

breathing the fragile,

frosted air of mortal lungs.

And piercing the fated fabric

of misery unvoiced,

listening for deeper melodies

and seeing near silent hues,

I survey eternal treasures

in the sea,

the sand,

each drifting, clouded sky.

I view those sacred glories

in the quiet of your eyes...

wow what a pretty pic. where do you find all these amazing photos??? and good job on the poem itself.

Yes, it is 'your' gaze that stands apart. We, when intoxicated by someone's glance, create something that sets us on a new moon and we look for a new journey. What it is called? Love? No. It is the anticipated illusion that tells us truths and lies that we love to hear in sleep and in awakening.

I love your view of thousand things through the "eyes."

Thank you.

Once again, a very very beautiful poem. There is much to be seen in a person's eyes. I think that if one looks hard enough, they can see all they need to know in anyone's eyes, even their own. Well written. Your poetry flows beautifully =) -Eli

Very beautiful- your mind that is.

This poem makes me think about how I can look into the eyes of the people I care about most, mainly the girl I care about most and forget all the mortal obstacles and problems that lay before us in everyday life. As if when we see the innocence in meaningful eyes, we see that even the darkest times are worth the struggle, for the eternal treasures lie within love and those we love.

the author shows that the quiet is not silence in the eyes
i appreciate the reflection from the expression of these eyes

Your poem put me into a trance. It's very senual and romantic. I enjoyed reading your poetry.
