BLINK

Ninkasi

Often ashamed to look in the eye

my iris trails

beyond valley of blues

gulps orchids dipped in spotlight

 

Drunken curtains somber in guise

frown on my lids

shut in mediocrity defined

 

Cushioned drapes

overcast chasms

flutter like fluorescent fireflies

dipped in dark and aura

    • Fay Slimm.

      A stunningly good use of metaphor - I love those drunken curtains in the linguistic delight of your second stanza.

      • Ninkasi

        Glad you loved it

        Absolutely splendid .. Neville

        • Ninkasi

          Oh ya just a figment of my imagination
