The Woman with Storyteller Eyes

Inspired by the eyes of Devi~

I heard her  voice 

in the pristine silence of my dreams

she spoke with mesmerizing beauty

of distant Gods

and warriors of love

of silver rivers,  where iridescent birds 

unfurled their ornate wings 

and carried the seeds of dreams 

to scatter upon the barren dust of life

she spoke of a garden of poets 

who drew their ink from the heart  

and poured their souls  

in the penumbra of ancient light 

I heard her scream to demons 

those hiding behind the guise of love 

and admired her will 

       

       fearless in her grace 

       brave in her pain 

her voice was one of healing

of how dragons become beautiful 

when carved in jade

and that love ,  was perhaps the only truth one need to learn 

and there, 

in the stillness   

my eyes were led to a lonely star 

where I felt a teardrop upon the cheek of

a weary sage

my heart forever touched 

listening to the voice of  my soul 

alive,  as I peer into the midnight sky

in the gaze of 

the woman  with story teller eyes

I'm reminded of Rumi and nature and love and spirit and God and lover all in one. Your words are uplifting, transcendental, and spiritual. In short, beautiful!

Heavy sigh, dear friend, it's always you who can paint such beauty with words.

I've missed reading your work during the time I wasn't here, but this ode to the eyes of Devi~ is truly magical, and it reaches beyond the senses of a true romantic and poetic heart almost can catch...
