The circle under my eyes are overflowing
with dreams
ever since you kissed my eyelids.

I think my expectations were too high on this. While I enjoyed it, there‘s something about it that soured it for me. Top flags I use for entire poems, but side flags I use just for specific lines and I think that context helps the photo illustrate what my feelings about this were. Poetry tastes really vary widely so I don‘t mean want to dissuade anyone from this, but I personally found it to be pretty mediocre.
