To Sail Her Eyes
To Sail Her Eyes
Dream vista lipstick cloud smile
Sails below ocean blue eyes
With crimson sky hair
Lit by morningstar amulet
Of turquoise flower suspended
Round alabaster neck of heaven
That rises into an almond-shaped face
Sung by horizon eyelashes
Feathery as cirrus
But dark as night
With penciled eyebrows
Written in feminine runes
Dream vista lipstick cloud smile
Sails below ocean blue eyes
With crimson sky hair
Lit by morningstar amulet
Of turquoise flower suspended
Round alabaster neck of heaven
That rises into an almond-shaped face
Sung by horizon eyelashes
Feathery as cirrus
But dark as night
With penciled eyebrows
Written in feminine runes

Oh John ... this is wonderful ... such perfect flow ... great visuals ... hint of mischief ... bravo
My darling you are the first to read this anywhere. And I couldn't wish for a better first than you. This was inspired by a woman who has been my muse for ages. Having reached her upper forties, her beauty is ageless and timeless. She is as gorgeous as a PreRaphealite model. Your comment has given me great joy my sweetheart. Having a woman who appreciates the female form as you do share such words, gives me immense happiness. ;)

I love that notion — > “written in feminine ruins” as it encapsulates and finalises the aforementioned !
Your creativity & storytelling just sparkles ~ 😎🌹🌞🎈

shadow_starzzz, love to sparkle for you, my friend. Your comment especially adds sparkle to my poem. Yes, this portrait of a friend of mine is the best of the series of my word paintings of her. It pleases me immensely that this pleased you.

This is a veritable word painting indeed. No need for logic when you can play with words and imagery so effectively! If I were a woman I'd be honored to be the subject of such a fine, imaginative poem. Great job.

Great thanks Mundus! She has been my muse for many years. Her beauty is ageless and timeless as she journeys into her fifties.
