When I saw her
When I saw her
from the corner
her striking eyes
pierced into my heart
and stop every beat
of my breathing and
left me open-mouthed
like a mere gambler
who just won jackpot
from series of loses

greetings
I reckon I can forgive you for being a socialist lol. Now a few changes to improve the English here :
line 4 ; Change pierce to pierced
line 5: change stop to stopped
line 8: change merely to mere
last line try just after a series of losses.
The emotion here is strong just needs a bit of help. I can't imagine trying to write a poem in a language I was not born to
