Black to Blue

His eyes are dark

Fixed on something

I have yet to see

in the distance

He stands as if

alone

Fingers fly

As the tones drift

coming in waves

And those eyes are a color

I only have seen

in my mind

Auburn and Dark

gleaming in the pale light

That look removes time

breaking me down

As those seemingly infinite

portals lock

deep into mine

A glimpse of familiarity

and then swept away

like the notes he plays

Valiantly reminiscent of

some thing deeper

but I'm swept along in

those racing hues

black to blue

And he's still standing

there

Like an unkown truth

you write like... an unknown truth... truly expressive...

[Miss Coral]

Beautiful piece.. it flows as if the words were tumbling from your mouth, complete inspiration and emotion captured. Nice write.

It seems as though you both were swept away by the current of a moment. The chords seem to capture and carry. He as an artist to some unknown destination perhaps with you, perhaps in a memory, perhaps both. You, enraptured by the intensity and emotion of his eyes. I like how you portray them as colour, black to blue. The magnitude, the aloofness.

"And he's still standing
there
Like an unknown truth"

A familiar stranger, a mystery.

[loowzerX]

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

silk plucks of a string bouncing prisms through the air in sound have a tendency to captivate the strongest of women~ it's that liquid pulse of music and the soul that creates it translates it~ gives it over~ beautiful fluid poetic~

There's nothing like getting swept away into a daydream. You portray this well. Nice job. Some of the poem feels forced and doesn't push the reader down the page fast enough for the emotional effect. Otherwise nicely done. Great work. Thanks
