Dark is all in his sight, But iridescence his light! I reflect, why am I blinded, From watching the color of his art? And now I discern why, For his spectrum would fly, Straight from his heart! I yearn to live The life of his eyes, And know the colours Of his waters and his skies! I wish I could live The life of his skin, And breathe in the colour Of the clear dew drop. Why can’t I live his senses And realize the colour of the flowers, When grow their fragrances Along the whistle of the air? To experience his sphere’s chroma, I close my peepers; My sight goes off, but my insight on; There I see not murk, But his soul’s Iridescence in the dark!

I have vision, yet I don't; He doesn't have "The vision", yet he does! Am I blinded from watching his soul's colors just because I've got sight?

I liked it :) To me, it felt like you were envious of what how a blind man sees the world. I will agree with Luv4Ever about the exclamation points, but other than that it was really good :)

I love your use of words but i feel that the exclamation ponts take away from your poem
