My eyes are on fire
Glazing over
You As duke mentioned, this is nice word play here - I like it, these three lines are the strongest in the poem for me. Something tangible is happening - eyes are on fire, I can feel that.
Dealt into the hands
Clear my bonus. This sentence could use some extra punctuation or reformatting, it is disjointed somehow, especially the connection between lines 3, 4, & 5. Read it as a single sentence: "My eyes are on fire glazing over you dealt into the hands clear my bonus." I'm lost.
Blinded and I’m falling
Weightless, suspended
Hanging, caught
Hook, line and sinker I'm falling for you is a cliche idea, and "hook, line, and sinker" is a common phrase as well as Duke said. I think this could be said in a more unique & interesting way.
Are you falling too?
I can’t see
You
Pause-rewind
Are you having fun yet?
Spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs
tell me.
Go fish This is a fun final line, made me smile.
