Midwinter night's Illusion

Midwinter night's Illusion

A Poem by .:Arianna:.

Only when 
i remembered you
again,
did i realise,
i had,
for quite some time,
forgotten you...
It all comes back to me...
How my poems
were always seeking completion,
your name in them,
or else
they were unworthy...
Still, i can't believe
i wrote
your name,
and now
it will be spoken
out loud...
I wrote it
in the colors
of your eyes.
Your so special eyes...
One, deep grey,
like the sea before a storm,
one faded green,
like the willows first leaves.

I know,
it would take 
more than luck
for you,
to ever lay eyes
on even one
of the hundred poems,
the countless letters,
i never meant to send to you.
It would take Puck's mischievous action
and Lord Oberon's crimson flowers
to ever love me.

Silly you,
thinking
it was
an illusion...

Silly me,
hoping
you were right...

A beautiful, concise and incredibly heartfelt monologue. Your final two stanzas are hauntingly accurate and reflect the rest of the poem in a very delicate and with almost professional clarity. There's something very clever (Although I don't usually like it) in changing the colour of the text for 'of your eyes' as you make a reference to writing the colour. I really like the eyes as a concept and a metaphor and I love how you describe them :) Nice work.
