Eye Of Beholders

Eye Of Beholders

A Poem by DaniElle LaPointe

THUNDER and rain at this moment
My island eyes taking in the storm of what you love
EYES
Green iris the arbutus at Devil's Ladder
flecked with Tribune blue
swirled with the overcast grey of a
Seal Bay storm
EYES
Valley girl eyes winking
at your Valley boy charm
Finally, now falling on you once again
Years only make you that much more beautiful
So what is it they say...
that thing about beauty?
(Memories nudge my homesickness
pulled from me by
your laughter
and your smile)
Yes.
It is in the eye of the beholder
Now, enough head in the clouds!
Devote this stormy day....
to finding a cure
for death by lightning.

Your words are always so powerful, DaniElle.. so poignant.. so personal.. Can sense the storm sweeping around you.. your gaze caught on the skies.. within and without.. There is a beauty and tenderness here.. and a spark that will grow into a flame.. Always brilliant to see things through your eyes. :)

I enjoyed the description in the poem.
"EYES
Green iris
the arbutus at Devil's ladder
flecked with Tribune blue
swirled with the overcast grey of a Seal Bay storm"
The above lines were my favorite. Many visions create by good description. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.
