When your eyes twinkle
In the pure light of day
And your cheek dimples
Free from affray
My brow will unwrinkle
In spite of my grey
Soul long lost. Forgot
So far from where you’re not
I reach out to thee with poetry
The most real and honest part of me
I paint with words and wait
Until your shoulders soften
And your iris illuminates
Where ashes fly unforgotten
Into the moonlit fate
Of a window’s endless knocking
Your face. Unreplaced
Etched as I trace
These words on my page
Brightens dark days
When your eyes twinkle
In the pure light of day
You radiate and sprinkle
A longing to stay
I pour words like a dream
Will you please make my day?

Excellent flow, rhythm, and message
Definitely one of my favorites from you. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💫💫💫 smooth and enriching
Thanks wq. I found it hard to judge this one as not my usual genre!
It does indeed flow - fine work Sylvia.
Thank you Michael it was a bit of an endeavour for me!
A lovely write, Syl. I enjoyed the concept, as it is unique in a careful and explicit manner.
Thanks Nic, I struggle to write with a softer pen, so was unsure if I had it in me to write something lovely.
😊
Super write Sylvia, so positive.
Thanks GF, I tried to channel some warmth 😊
How utterly delightful, if you dont mind me saying.... Neville
Oh I really wasn’t sure about it at all as it was an experiment for myself.
nowt wrong with a bit of experimentation 🙂
Well if I went all soft and gooey I’m not sure I’d recognise my own face!
All in moderation though!
everything without exception
This will go into my favourites - it has to be one of your best my friend.
Thanks Fay, it’s funny because I still have mixed feelings on this one. But I am glad others have enjoyed it! I am never great at judging my own work!
