Your Face

sylviasearcher



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?

      Thanks wq. I found it hard to judge this one as not my usual genre!

    • Michael Edwards

      It does indeed flow - fine work Sylvia.

      • sylviasearcher

        Thank you Michael it was a bit of an endeavour for me!

      • Nicholas Browning

        A lovely write, Syl. I enjoyed the concept, as it is unique in a careful and explicit manner.

        • sylviasearcher

          Thanks Nic, I struggle to write with a softer pen, so was unsure if I had it in me to write something lovely.

          😊

            How utterly delightful, if you dont mind me saying.... Neville

            • sylviasearcher

              Oh I really wasn’t sure about it at all as it was an experiment for myself.

              • Neville

                nowt wrong with a bit of experimentation πŸ™‚

                • sylviasearcher

                  Well if I went all soft and gooey I’m not sure I’d recognise my own face!

                  All in moderation though!

                  • Neville

                    everything without exception

                  • Fay Slimm.

                    This will go into my favourites - it has to be one of your best my friend.

                    • sylviasearcher

                      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!
