Magic EyesA Poem by Michael HandelI see these pictures of you, fresh in my mind, of all the times you've spent amongst friends... young and unknowing of our future. You are ancient and new, glamorous like nymphs of the sea and wood. The hood over your eyes still sheathing thoughts and feelings you've yet to know... in these pictures of you. You look as if a piece of perfection was shaken from the cosmos, and just like the star-dust in our bones, you've fallen from the heavens and into my heart where you belong. I sing songs now in celebration of your being you... of perfections fallen child chiding distance and time in your explosive dance. I'm in trance, heart exploding in its hole, demolished soul-fragments reconstructing to the command of your call(s), like brutish overseers beating, lashing down on frail nothing-men, forcing their hand. My heart is yours now. My gift to you, dear. You, in these pictures... the shape and colo(u)r of your eyes... like almonds spewed from Poseidon's mouth, while I sit here waiting... alone and yours now. © 2008 Michael HandelFeatured Review
