[bodytext] => I had a strange feeling that I was being watched When I looked over my shoulder I saw a vision that would haunt me for the rest of my days From the corner of my eyes I saw the figure of a woman Her face hidden by the shadows, only revealed those eyes Those brilliant green eyes pierced my heart And I longed for more I turned around to see her better Through the noise of the crowd I could only read her lips Follow me she said Then she turned around and all I could see was her curly raven hair Instantly I ran after her Knocking into the carnival crowd The lights and sounds and smells blurred by As those emerald eyes fixated my mind I thought for sure I lost her But there I saw her hair at one of the carnival games I ran to her and tapped her on the shoulder When she turned around, I didn't see green eyes Here I am someone shouted I turned around and saw her not far away She beckoned me with her index finger to come This time I would not lose her There she is I saw her go into the funhouse of mirrors Once inside, she was nowhere to be found Then I saw her behind me in the mirror Though her face was distorted There was no mistaking those eyes I turned around to find her gone again But now my mind was racing with visions I had never caught a full glimpse of her And now my mind was envisioning a woman of unimaginable beauty I must find her I ran from place to place searching for her Each place would offer no help Could that be her by the ferris wheel I will wait I heard her say I ran to the ferris wheel and she was waiting for me I nodded at the ride operator and bought two tickets He shook his head and smiled Finally we were together For a long time we sat in silence staring at each other She was far more beautiful than I had imagined Her skin was as white and fair as a winter morning snow Her hair as black as a moonless night in the fall Her eyes were like a sea of emeralds that absorbed all of my being Then the ferris wheel began to move I was too in awe of her to speak The gentle night breeze and stars above Provided the perfect frame for us sitting alone on the ferris wheel She shivered and slid closer to me The ferris wheel stopped at its apex We sat for a few minutes more Then she leaned over and whispered Kiss me Our lips touched Time stopped And we shared a love for each other that transcended both time and space Then the ferris wheel began to move again At the bottom we got off I asked her What is your name She said It starts with the sun rise and ends with the sun set Meet me tomorrow Where will you be You'll find me Then she vanished as quickly as she had appeared earlier The next day I went to the carnival to find her But she wasn't there I went the next day and the day after that Then the carnival was gone I waited until the carnival came again the next year But still she wasn't there Each year I would come back but she would never be there One day I realized what she meant about her name I thought about her when the sun rose until it set Her face and those eyes forever remained burned into my mind I will find her one day before the sun sets [comments] => 5 [counter] => 218 [topic] => 31 [informant] => weepingwillow [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => StoryPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
