The Light Within

For Laura

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Luminous Love

Your countenance reflects

With each surprise

Of your presence

Behind the sheer curtains

That wisp in your breezes

Your golden glow

Welcomes

 

Alluring girl

You shine…

The sparkle of a your sun touches

A thousand ripples of a

Mountain lake or deep ocean

Behind the whispering clouds

Your laughter

Dances in the sky

 

Underneath your silly way

A heart of an artist

Gently watches

Searching for inspiration

Bohemian girl

Beneath your vellum paper

A hopeful and optimistic star

Paints an inspiring picture

Or molds a sculpture of joy

 

Radiant Smiling Girl

Golden locks

Your fluttering dance

Remains after your butterfly kiss

And every encounter

Behind your silky veils

Endless and undeniable

Candescence

 

Anyone can dance

To your quirky song

Your disco hall door

Has been removed

And your glittering light

Plays on the shiny floor

Behind your untamed flame

A quiet soul

Searches for love

I will praise the well-chosen illustration, the excellent format and attractive style of yours. Very strong start to each stanza. Keep that as your forte.
