Losing focus

Contributed by lostinmyself on Thursday, 10th February 2005 @ 02:54:18 PM in AEST
Topic: SadPoetry



I watch your eyes turn slowly grey, from looking into mine,
Dying in some small way, and growing at the same time,
As I search for answers within them, but questions are my replies,
For the only thing I see, is myself hidden in your eyes.
Then as lady luck herself appears and rips you away,
Black and white vision mingles, and slowly turns to grey.
And in pictures of old 40's films, I reenact the way you fell,
While our eyes were both turned grey, by a silently spoken spell.

And I felt my eyes turn slowly white, as light reacted to the shade ,
And the shadows in your eyes became, slowly forming solid shapes,
Those tears are imprinted in memories, and one day they will fade,
But when I see them in your eyes, I fear that they will always stay,
Then I suddenly felt you torn from me, by fingers frozen cold,
Encasing you in an iron grip, too hard, too strong a hold,
I felt you pulled away from me, no way to break the stone,
While our eyes were both turned white, like an early morning snow.

I felt you pulled away from me, no way to break the frozen grip..
While our eyes were both turned white, away, I let my fingers slip..

As for a title.. ..turned to white? maybe..

I kinda like losing focus for a title ... It hints at the eyes as a subject ... but makes the reader try to determine the meaning.

Fabulous write Phil. And I believe Pixie is right ... when it comes to pulling out your feelings and putting them to pen ... you are indeed gifted !!!

I really don't think that it needs anything else, you've captured us in the emotions of your poem like no one else can.

No addition needed. Emotions that come from the heart and not just the pen. The reader feels it also, good write. I see you settled on a good title.

You need another comma in the third from the last line, but that's just a technical thing.
What can I say, Lost? You have outdone yourself again. This says tons and says it well. It also speaks of someone who is sifting through the hurt and maybe seeing the purpose in it that will change the future. I hope so. I really like this.

I truthfully think that its perfect as it is... except I want morreeeeeee. Another masterpiece without a doubt, you've captured everything so perfectly and the imagry it creates is extremely vivid, for me anyway.

Take Care
