*****

The eyes with which you gaze at the world are blue,
Like Kidman’s glance in the film 'Cold Mountain'.
Aggressively tinged with sorrow, I feel powerless before them.
Oh, dear, once you visited me in a dream,
The next day, you smiled at me.
It’s simply a platonic infatuation,
For whom it’s more, I do not know.
The scent of cherries, which you spread over my windows, always leads me back to you.
Madly wandering,
Oh, dear, that cold stare.
With your hellish black car, you only head toward the fields.

This is pleasant, and very much a piece written upon the writer's unique feelings and thoughts. I suspect that she's combined references to two of her passions, here. Firstly, Nicole Kidman and also the familiar fields and cherries; which are fondly familiar to Mari (in her home surroundings). In addition, she's included various accompanying thoughts and feelings; such as seeming to be in an unsettled awe of Nicole's gaze. Stars of many sorts tend to be driven around in black cars, and speed away from their adoring fans; no matter how appreciatively you may have been looking in awe at one of them (even at a distance and just longing for him or her to stop by or just give a wave).! In a way, I have the impression that Mari has used Nicole's distinctive gaze as the fulcrum; around which to build her associated thoughts and observations.? Thanks, for sharing.

I dedicated this text to a man. Thank you twilight, for such an assessment.

[Twilight]

OK. I guess it was that Nicole isn't a man, which might have been what threw me lol..?

[Twilight]

So obvious..!

[Twilight]

I prefer my interpretation, to be honest. But, accept your motivation for writing it as a dedication to someone special.

[Twilight]

Only because, your choice of words brought me down that particular path; in this instance. No doubt, it includes some insights which only you and him; could possibly know..? It happens.

Just the man's gaze and eye color match; if you watch the movie Cold Mountain, you'll understand. Why not? I know it's a bit confusing, but this secrecy is intriguing.

[Twilight]

I see. No, I haven't seen the film. But, by coincidence; I bought it on DVD recently. Just haven't got around to watching it, yet; and like the central theme involving a woman striving through extreme circumstances. Also, the American Civil War historical setting.

[Twilight]

Ahem. I happen to have alluring blue eyes, myself..? Anyway, I had better go - in case you report me to Robert E. Lee's ghost 👻 lol? After all, almost Halloween.! Anyway, keep writing; and hope that you choose to keep in touch -- more than you do (when poss).

I really don't know your eye color, but this poem is just a dedication, that's all. Thank you for your feedback.))

[Twilight]

Sorry. I was just adding a little levity, and no malign intent. I'm pleased that you seem to enjoy my reviews, enough to find them interesting. Respectfully.

Today I was at the elections in my country, Georgia, but nothing changes. I’m irritated. 💔

[Twilight]

Fair enough. We're all irritated from time to time. Such is life, Mari.

Thank you ❤️
