It’s Quadrille Monday over at the dVerse Poets Pub! Today our prompt is the word, glow.
∞
That exquisite glow
in your velvet-brown eyes —
even the flecks of amber sparkle
like topaz bathed in moonlight.
I try to imagine
what thoughts may evoke
such magic,
but it is quite
impossible
considering
it has nothing
in the world
to do with me.
Such a heartbreaking end… so hard to watch our desire looking elsewhere than us.
Oh…..it’s really true isn’t it? Some people’s eyes…just by nature of their color and depth, actually sparkle. I’m reminded of my grandaughter’s blue blue eyes that make you feel like you’re diving into a pool when you look at them. But then the ending of the poem is the twist….these eyes described here, have nothing to do with the one who finds them so beautiful. A sad ending.
Nothing in the world :(
Nice description of the glow in someone else the cause of which has nothing to do with the one who sees it.
that ending smashed my heart to pieces. ugh.
This is a heartbreaker, Susan :(
Beautiful words. It was almost like reading a mystery. Lovely take on the prompt.
Whatcha think?
