Analysis of Sad Eyes



Sad Eyes
Sad upon her eyes left her face in a forlorn frown.
Where, tears once existed, patched in salt upon her cheeks.
Nar a word was spoke, from lips that no longer wish to speak.
As a world of billowy clouds, surround a plummeting, sundown.

While a fresh blue moon grazes within her saddened eyes.
A bounty lay upon her heart for a love wandering in a world of lost.
In a life that lingers upon the doors to loves rift within a heartless frost.
Reaching out to a darken night, forbidden to the stars within her skies.

From a world of rubble buried upon her soul for a man that she does miss.
Her dormant eyes laced within the brackish descent of clear-eyed tears.
Now tells the complete sad tale of her heart from eyes that can only leer.
As her eyes rest heavily, for one last time on her lips for that final kiss.

Norman Wilson

IntroductionForgotten are the times the tick of a clock once chimed sobering sounds that caressed my hearts nightly dreams. As I awaken to the touch of light that burns upon a candles wick flickering my words for all to see. This drives my thoughts through the darkest of nights of loneliness that renders my quill upon parchment with ink that dances to minds and souls.Now I hear the screeching of my heart when the blue horizon covers the orb of emptiness.Within the shelter of my mind with little, purpose other than my words that keep me sane. These are my new poems I have written in the quiet of my night, forever wished away in a writer’s pain. As I strive to write that perfect poem that, my soul desperately seeks. Then and only then can my words rest upon a sleep. more…
