Everyday Romance
konsherto

Every bead of sweat
 1
that drops to your pillow,
 2
every damp strand of hair
 3
stuck to your forehead
 4
injects a surge
 5
of temperature
 6
in me.
 7
 
 
I can see
 8
all the chemicals
 9
dancing in your head
 10
through the frozen eyes
 11
that pierce and betray
 12
every tendril of this moment,
 13
and every heat wave
 14
surging through our skins.
 15
 
 
How you shine
 16
without pretenses;
 17
you blind me momentarily.
 18
 
 
You just wait.
 19
One day, I’ll fall in love with you.

i love taht last line
 — tragicbubble

Stanza one could use more punctuation. It seems run on. But lovely imagry nonetheless. Frozen eyes? that's nonsense. You should perhaps try "through the fixated eyes or something of that sort. That also needs help in grammar. It's too bunched up and it ruins the flow of the poem. L18 would maybe sound better if you wrote Blinding me momentarily. I do like the last line. Leaves it open ended. So the reader can assume what the person's reaction would be. Overall nice poem.

For some strange reason, this is fantastic.
