Can'T Escape Poem by Brian Dorn

Can'T Escape

Rating: 5.0


From the corner of my eye
Hard to fathom what I saw
Turned my head as if to try
And into love so deep I fall

Unlike I've ever felt before
It tossed and turned me like a storm
Nothing's made me troubled more
Nor, ever have I felt so warm

Eyes that capture mine in chains
Oh, so tightly locked to yours
Finding comfort in this pain
Gripped so tight forever more

Don't ever let me look away
Please never, never let me go
In your eyes I want to stay
In your heart I want to grow

So content, you make me feel
Alive inside your garden eyes
Nothing's ever felt so real
Can't escape, won't even try

I like this line a lot even though it provokes that garden of Eden with its sense of innocence - and a beginning just as this poem is: Alive inside your garden eyes.

Brian, this surely must touch a responsive cord with anyone who has ever been in love. A wonderful poem. A ten for this fine piece.

That Jack Russell's a funny guy! ! This is a terrifically well written poem Brian. It's excellent from end to end. Tells the story of falling in love as quickly as it happens and transmits all the emotion of the process and what it means to you straight into the reader's mind and heart. jim

Those words 'garden eyes' captivate me! This has the sound of an Elizabethan love song - delightful. Linda
