you know when your in love when you can't fall asleep at night because reality is finally better then your dreams~ Dr. Seuss


Every time you walk by
time slows, do you see
the dandelion fluffs
that are carried on the breeze
move like time is a great
expanse of never-ending
plains
when i look into
the deep pools of water
that are your eyes
i can feel the wind cease
and when your voice
sings over the air
the water that normally
laps around my ankles
like morning light over the mountains
flows lethargically in
a moment of slowed time
and when you whisper
your silent song into
my ears
and eyes
the sharp tongue which normally
leaps like a fish inside my mouth
is unresponsive
and my words are all muddled

Wow.  You really captured that feeling of being in a different time-space when there is someone who catches your eye.  And it is not just that you like that person, but it is the way you FEEL that person...in the air, on your skin, in your mouth, in your mind...I get it!  Keep writing!

WARNING: I'm severely honest.

Kind of hard to read. There was little flow to it. I had to read it again to fully hear the song inside of it. And your similes and metaphors were a little distracting from the point of the poem. The fish in her mouth was a little bizarre. I could see though what you were trying to portray, and I think with some patching up this could be great.
