Ordinary
Just an ordinary girl,
 A girl with smoldering eyes the size of the sun
 that singe your skin with one piercing glance
 A girl with untamed dreams
 that dance like the fiery core of a 
 flame
 Just an ordinary girl,
 A girl who has a heart lined with silver
 and a soul speckled with iridescent diamonds
 A girl who gets easily entangled in the maze of music
 and lost in the ocean of art
 with no intent of being found
 Just an ordinary girl,
 A girl with a sweet tongue,
 a ticklish humor,
 a sharp witty taste.
 A girl who’s laughter chases away all suffering
 like a beacon of light in a cave of 
 despair.
 
 There’s an ordinary boy,
 A boy with eyes the color of the Mediterranean --
 so deep you can drown in them
 An ordinary boy,
 A boy who is
 Swift as a dolphin,
 Strong as a lion,
 Agile as a leopard
 An ordinary boy,
 A boy with an enchanting smile
 that wraps you in a layer of delight
 A boy who has a passion,
 a passion encrusted with
 the bandages of hard work.
 
 An everyday boy,
 a boy with a million keys
 to the hearts of a million girls,
 and among that million,
 Lies the tarnished key of that ordinary girl.
 
 The key that has been lost time and time again
 The key that has fallen into few hands,
 none of which have been keen enough unlock her heart
 The key that neither the ordinary boy
 nor the ordinary girl
 is aware of.
 
 But the stars have decided
 And destiny has spoken
 The ends of their fate
 have been entwined
 into knotted braids.
 
 So one day,
 That boy,
 that ordinary boy
 with sparkling azure eyes,
 will discover the rusty key in his pocket,
 shine it,
 delicately insert it into the keyhole
 
 Turn it…
 
 And unlock the heart of that
 ordinary girl.

I love this poem. Nice work and keep writing. Nice job on your artwork too!
I especially like how you describe the girl as a forgotten key.
