Emerald Eyes.

About death and remembrance.

Emerald Eyes.

 

Emerald eyes,

No longer seen.

They’re hidden by the darkness,

By the coldness of death.

But those emerald eyes have been forgotten.

 

You see,

With death comes pain

& the memories people don’t wish to remember.

So they forget--

They forget those emerald eyes.

 

People change,

They move and drift, just like the ocean.

They’re never the same,

Those people we no longer know--

& they no longer know those emerald eyes.

 

But those emerald eyes,

They won’t forget.

Their memories stay true throughout eternity;

As they look down upon us,

They’ll always remember the emerald eyes.

Just a quick write, but I thought I'd post it anyway for some critique. Your thoughts?

wow! the greatest feature this poem has which is so hard to pull off is the reciprocating effect due reason, and its a short but powerful piece that carries along the lines of dreams and memories and illusions of bliss when life is just as hard as it is easy, i found this to be awsome,
and well devised. you have talent, keep it up.

[reminder]

I like the perspective of eyes looking down upon us, from a higher place. It is true, we on earth move on after a loss. Beautifully written.
