all i see

artwork by talantbek chekirov

i sketched myself with charcoal

from the day before forever

and then there was you

painting me with watercolors

delivering me into a world

bubbling with soothing hues

life was electric

filled with stardust and glitter moments

you brought waves to my lakes

injected laughter into my same-old same-old

even moths were drawn

to the windows of my soul

that’s why even now

when night falls

and my eyelids close over my heart

all i see is you

that’s why even now
when night falls
and my eyelids close over my heart
all i see is you

.... some people just come into our life and they change the way we see ourself... then they leave us wondering if those colors does they really stay... after a period of time... i guess in the memories and at nightfall when we close our eyes we can remember how it once felt like to be alive through their eyes ...
thanks for sharing such simple yet wonderful poetry...

A beautiful landscape of painted misses and matches. The sometimes missed chances to be and the fulfillment of love's being. Never we should close our heart to embrace and paint in all its colors...Wonderful, Lydia...:)...........

Exquisite and eloquent poem. Being in love is like going from Kansas to OZ, B&W to Hi Def..."life was electric, filled with stardust and glitter moments"-brilliant line and imagery. Touched my heart. Thanks!

Now you know I'm going to enjoy a poem that mentions drawing and romance in the same write. But to do it so well is so much extra.

what beautiful and romantic verse... it shines with the colors of you... this poem must have been written in those bright acrylics that laugh out loud with the love you express, I mean if someone brings waves to your waters, and laughter then even a sigh and "nice" doesn't match the feelings and emotions painted in this poem... just flat out wonderful Lydi...
