That Is All My Eyes Can See...

I wake up, your angel eyes closed in peace
Your head laying on my chest
I watch you clinging on to me
Your face portrays you in a heavenly dream 

Smoothly and with guilt I sit on the bed
Can’t wait to have you on my arms once again
But I have to write all these beautiful scenes
They are my only way to express my being

Because you are the most beautiful piece of art
Michelangelo couldn’t paint it, nor da Vinci
You are the best play ever written
Shakespeare could have never made it

Your body is an angelic sculpture
Your image reflected on a steady stream
The peace that it holds within
That is all my eyes can see…when you’re asleep next to me
That is all my eyes can see....

And I wish this is not just another dream
I can only mesmerize while looking at your eyes, your lips
You are in such a harmonious state
I would never want to wake you up

Because you are the most beautiful piece of art
Michelangelo couldn’t paint it, nor da Vinci
You are the best play ever written
Shakespeare could have never made it

That is all my eyes can see…when you’re asleep next to me
That is all my eyes can see....

I really like this poem. It

I really like this poem. It really cool to read a poem that isn't... cliche

This poem flowed really well even though the word 'nor' threw me off a bit ("nor da Vinci")

You did a great job expressing feelings in a way that is unique. I can't say that enough.

 

Good job

Thanks for the comment,

Thanks for the comment, always appreciate it.  yeah regarding the "nor". The way i felt it, i wrote it. I understand is usually supposed to be used while  introducing the second person or thing but it can be used for the first also. in a very unorthodox way, lol.

 

Thanks though, I didn't even notice until you told me about it. lol
