Kathy: Thanks!

NEW POEM! Now don't make fun of me, I stayed up really late last night writing this and it's not rhyming or even very good free verse...but I still like it. It's not about anyone in particular, I just felt it. I dunno, I'm weird. Comments/Criticism please! =)

"Portals To The Soul" by Ellen

Your eyes are dark
But when the light
Reflects in them
They brighten up
Each sparkle shining
Like in those old cartoons
Like stars in the night sky
I always notice your eyes
Beautiful yet so dim
I like how they smile
Always at me
All twinkling
But still oh so sad
I can't fathom why
Your hidden tears
They are such
A mystery to me
Your eyes glitter
When you grin wide
Bearing all your teeth
For once
It is intentional
Not an accident
Because you're laughing
Little lights dance
Constantly everywhere
"Swirling shades of blue
Slow-dancing in your eyes"
I like that quote
The song, too
I like the flecks
Bits of turquoise
The ones in your eyes
Deep inky shades of teal
They give you more
Of your character
Perfect imperfections
That's what they are
Pssh, like imperfection
Is possible with you
Do you know
That when you laugh
You squint a little?
It's wonderful
Because even if
You won't tell me
I know you're happy
And that makes me happy
And I love it
And I love you


I hope you liked it! Oh yes, the quote is from "There-For-You" by Flyleaf.
