Thanks for the replies again. Incandescence, I like your revision but it just doesn't do it for me. I decided to just dive in and totally redo the poem.
His eyes shine with unspent emotion
as he asks me a question
Eyes that are so vibrantly blue
in his uncertainty
He must wonder if I care what he has to say
Sure I do
Looking into his ocean? blues
Light has never spoken withmy menacing dark friend
But I see the silent exchanges
Something lies between them
Stirring the air I breath
Dark eyes of the other meet mine across the room
His a much duller
More dangerous blue
With his anger they grey
Like the clouds of distorted thought in his head
Now they silently ask if I am angry
Of course I am
Looking into those ?
When sleep comes to take me
Those blues make me stay
One gentle, one rough
Once
I found comfort in both
I like this much more than the original. The question mark is where I know I need some help. I need a blue word. Thanks again for all the help.
