Sometimes You Wonder

Sometimes you wonder

            what is it that people see

when looking in your eyes?

Maybe they see hot liquid metal spill,

fill the Universe

with purity in brown disguise.

Maybe they see your graceful body dance

with music rivers floating from your heart-

shaped lips

spilling sounds of water

whose waves are matching movements of your hips.

Maybe they see the stubborn strand of golden orange weave

fall on your face with a content expression

the strand that that they don’t want to leave

so they can watch imperfectness become perfection.

Maybe they hear you radiate the smell of life

breathing particles of happiness into existence.

Maybe they’ll hear the sand of wisdom

sipping through your smiling teeth.

Maybe they see sincerity

            that simmers from your lips

            giving them shivers,

            followed by serenity and peace.

                        Bliss.

Maybe they see the stubborn sea

of browner shade inside your single dimple,

the stubborn browner river streaming down your leg.

Your stubborn dignified strong gaze

that pierces everything through time and space

slicing the blur of life

into an endless moment.

You say I’m a good poet,

but this - is merely your reflection in my eyes.

Maybe they see the stubborn autumn leaf

pushed by a stubborn flow of love

in the white sky

                        inside your eye -

Sweet marks of constant deviance

in you. Perfect enough.

They see it all. But all they’ll say

is: “Kooks, I am in love.”

Your play with words is phenomenal in depicting imagery, creating flow and atmosphere and evoking emotion.

I see I have much to learn from your poetic lips.

Always wonderful to find those who stand above oneself to glean insight into the craft.

Your march with words fascinates me.

Awesomely intoxicating you are.

Much love,

LR

The imagery and metaphor in this piece is SUPERB.
You're a fantastic poet, that's your reflection in my eyes with pieces like this to support it.
Good job!
