Her Eyes Are Like The Sun

A supernova, auroral and appealing
Tenderness, a poetic heart, affinity and feeling,
Her eyes are like the sun.

Illumination jubilation,
Loneliness, pain and hurt concealed,
Every time you serenade her, a tepid twinkle revealed,
Her eyes are like the sun,

Naughtiness, seduction, alluringly intoxicative fun,
A spell is cast,
Her eyes are like the sun,

Hypnotic, pellucid, translucent, inside each a luminescent pearl,
In friendship and in love, their warmth forever shining upon your world,
Her eyes are like the sun,

Rejuvenating, exhilarating,
A crystal encapsulated in every one,
If you want to behold forever take a look,
Her eyes are like the sun,

And once you’ve witnessed their effervescent light,
You’ll never ever come undone,
Because bright, incandescent, perpetually soothing,
Her eyes are like the sun

    You paint a portrait of beautiful imagery. Your vocabulary is striking but so much so, that it becomes slightly distracting and detracts from the flow. Your emotions, on the other hand, come through loud and clear! Nicely done. Thanks for your entry and good luck!

    First, let me thank you for entering my contest.

    Second:

    The flow and imagery was very well done. Creative perspective and conveyance. Easily related to. Original. Great use of vocabulary.

    I'm a bit confused though...i THINK i see a E-HEART connection, but...

    Very good.

    Very nice job. This sounds like it would make a cool Beatles song, you know what I mean? But does this mean that if I look in her eyes, I'll go blind?

    excellent writing

    This is such a beautiful poem. I have tears in my eyes that you were able to capture the essence of this person. "Loneliness, pain and hurt concealed, everytime you serenade her, a tepid twinkle revealed" Such tender, deep and understanding in your wonderful words.
    I really love this one.

    that is a really beautiful poem. whoever megan is, she's a very lucky girl. i'm not one for rhyming poetry, but this poem did seem to call for it. it did seem contrived and forced in a few places ((the second and fourth stanzas stand out in this aspect)), but i'm sure we'll all survive. once again, a very beautiful, heartfelt, and touching piece of poetry.

    i thought this was absolutely beautiful you do not have to cut your words to make it technically correct if it makes it just another good but somewhat dull poem. I love the richness of your words and the emotion behind it to carry it through you have painted such beautiful images and a job well done. All the best Stella.

    I totally agree with everything that jsl said, his advise is solid and should be taken seriously. It is a very romantic poem for someone you truly love and that really does come through.

    I enjoyed this poem more, when it seemed like you were being more honest with your feelings, then when you were trying to hide them behind long words. The two lines with the kind of honesty I was talking about are "In friendship and in love, their warmth forever shining upon your world" and "If you want to behold forever take a look"

    I did enjoyed the attempt, to use different words. However I felt the diction was not quite right. Too many polysyllable words, interrupted the flow without necesarrily adding to the meaning. For example in the line "Every time you serenade her, a tepid twinkle revealed". The phrase "tepid twinkle" didn't make sense for me either in it's strange sound or it's emotional comment. The contrast in the stanzas was a little bit odd for me, you seem to be trying for highly decorative and ornate sounding language then end with the rather simple sounding phrase and similie "Her eyes are like the sun". Giving an uneven feel . I am writing this comment out of context, and won't really have this poem in perspective untill I read your other stuff. Untill then, hope you find this comment constructive. And anyways the person who counts the most really likes it.

    Althought it was nice that you used other words for once, instead of the ones that are over used, I think you may have over done it. a few places were hard to understand and read. anyways nice poem.
