    In blinking
    Closing my eyes
    To a world full of colours
    Secluded
    Hostage to my own mind
    I see not shapes
    not sounds
    not colours
    Indiscribable
    I see beauty
    and beauty
    and beauty
    existent
    caught with in one grain of
    already dropped sand
    in the shiny shiny glass of
    The Sand clock
    And that
    encapsulated moment
    That lasted a lifetime
    until it dropped
    The grain that got caught in the blink of
    my eye
    The one that made it sore
    And made me scratch
    my eye
    No wonder when i discharged
    myself again to the new world
    You noticed my tear
    And I noticed
    for the first time in reality
    That our beauty dropped.

    Flow's working here and in poetry the ear's always more important than the eye.Imagery is nascent. Keep at it! I like the attempt to reduce the importance of descriptors and pass key passage importance to nouns and verbs- smart move. Now you only need to condense. Don't be afraid. Every diamond is born within a much larger rock.

    I agree with what kidder said, poetry is best when it says a lot with a little. Thats why I love haiku. But this poem was great, you turned a tiny moment into a thing of lasting beauty and wonder. Nice work :)
