Chasing Light

Chasing Light

 

He quite simply fell in love

with the way

she held her head like that

Tilted slightly

to one side, just listening ..

Much like

a sunflower might, intent

on nothing else

but chasing light ……………

And then,

standing tall on tippy toes

all of her

five foot, goodness knows ..

Perfect,

yet shy and waiting ………….

All golden, sun kissed and sun 

warmed ..

Well-oiled and burning bright

I remember years ago in the 70's back at grade school having a crush on a girl named Brenda who would always do just that. Tilt her head to the side in curiosity to a question asked of her. For such a little boy I fell hard for her. Wonderful poem Neville.

Beautifully, delicately pictured … the beauty of nature, sun flowers, passion and love. So short in words this poem, but expansive effect in lasting thoughts and emotions

Liked the simile of the flower and the girl. The difference is that the flower seeks the light, while the well oiled young lady is the light.

Its strange what kind of lures hook a man, the little idiosyncrasies, the well placed blemish, the sparkle in an eye. It always helps if they are well oiled too as you put it....lol. Great reflection Neville!!
