Vision of a pearl

Taught winds goes ever so across shivering shoulders,
Tugging dark long hairs over a proud neck. A stark frame,
Lucid in candle light, glistens to the tune of the moon.
Two arms stretch toward the heavens, gliding into a rugged
Coat like the amber glow of a dying fire, warming even
In recollection. And there, apart from sight, sits
A dream, unrealized and uncertain.

The faith of sands curl scented whispers into soft desert touches.
Deafened palms bow forth, dipping in glee toward a well of wings.

Arid eyes trade glances, then gazes like the sun dancing upon the Nile.
A small grin draws open to a larger joy, permeating golden pauses
And ornate silence.

Then hopeful thunder.

And the rains come with no future or past, only endlessly carving her mystery into me.

The flow and imagery is above the quo on this one. you really captivated the reader with the scenerio of a the time spent with whoever your writing about. next to a camp fire.

I would say brilliant, but don't want to inflate that ego of yours to much.

So you'll have you settle with with a "GOOD SHOW OL' CHAP"

[Deborah Leah Krempa]

[Honeypot]

You have a really wonderful way with words! This is really pretty. I love the last line. I think it pulls it all together nicely. Great job.

I don't know why, but this reminds me about Francois Villon, a French vagabound in 15th century in Paris, he was put into jail and wrote there erotica... I liked this poem a lot. Well the pearl could be her paradise? Where he is trapped?

[Suhcej]

Very good work indeed, I liked the flow of it,
quite delightful this writing is,
I couldn't help to imagine every sentence as you transported me to this story with your words.
I usually prefer rhymes, but this one is perfect the way it is (well, maybe some grammar check, but maybe it was on purpose, I don't know)
Well done!
