Beauty (poem within a poem)

Slicing the sharp blade across the cornea
            Removing the frosted lens from my eye
Opening the window to me
            I see much more than a lie
I read you like the pages of a book
            I feel the pain this sad world shows
I now see beyond what is said and told
            Optimistic to what my future holds
Gazing beyond my dreams as life unfolds
            Looking deeper within your soul
Beauty is all across the land 
            Fulfilling your life
Holding my hand
            Making it whole
Letting go

Author notes

this is my first shot at a poem within a poem,
i dont have text capiblities so i tried to set it apart by indenting the lines,(the indented lines are the poem within the poem)

i hope this is what you are looking for

    dark. intriguing.

    lovely write. very nicely done.

    i love this style, i use it a lot myself. actually... i don't even really have a style... i just kind of make it random and crazy. but i love the way this is written.

    it makes my heart gush how they first together so perfectly but they are both independent and beautiful. awesome work. i found myself reading this over and over again

    Well, uhh... I wear glasses! I have a double fallacy!

    I've been seeing a lot of these indent-every-other-line poems within poems. Rhyme in one, don't in the other, mix and match, see what happens. Picture works very well, though. Was this picture inspired?
