How is this for a poem?

Question

I'm searching for a jewel

Sparkling amidst an unknown

In wake of my journey

Floated among rivers

Rode upon camels

Across vast deserts

And narrow roads

Eying the jewel

Yet to shadow my eyes

Nor to caress my hands

Time is drifting away

As the waters shore washes ones footprints

No journey into the past

But a blink into the future

The jewel still lost

My hopes growing grim

My heart growing cold

But that shimmer of light

Mound of beauty

And priceless piece

A masterpiece

Still holds my interest

Captures my gaze

Reminding my of my impending doom

Tick tick... goes the time

Measured by a clock

Continuously I search

To have and keep

A Jewel

A jewel in the eye of the beholder

Answer 1

It is very fine for a poem.

It captured my gaze,

...but impending doom...?

Ok I will read it again....  

Answer 2

Very nice.

I made some edits -- take a look & see what you think.

I'm searching for a jewel

Unknown to me, it sparkles nevertheless

It has flowed in rivers

Rode upon by camels

It has been contained in vast deserts

And trod upon under narrow roads

This jewel is lost to me

Yet the shadow of it is within me

The jewel is not aware of time

It continues to drifting away as days pass by

As the waters shore washes ones footprints

My hopes growing grim

My heart growing cold

But that shimmer of light

Mound of beauty

And priceless piece

A masterpiece

Still holds my interest

Captures my gaze

Continuously I search

To have and keep

A Jewel

A jewel in the eye of the beholder
