I was torn on this photo, as I wanted to write an in-depth complicated poem, which dove into the eyes of this man and into his very soul. Easily, ten-thousand lines of life lay beneath, but in the end, simplicity was the journey shown.
In the corner of my eye
a flash
unable to turn away
you’ve captured
in my iris
not just me
but the memories…
of my past.
wow david - this is fantastic - there's so much captured in these eyes...
ReplyDeleteDavid, your poem in few words invites the reader to take a more focused look at the image. Excellent
ReplyDeletebrilliant - you caught that look in his eye with perfect words and implied that though the iris is captured, the man never could be.
