As green as her eyes

As green as her eyes

A Poem by black.butterfly
"

Death and rebirth

"

Her pale face glares as a moon
drowning in a black ink ocean.
The stars in her green eyes are dying out soon,
quitely, still in motion.

Under the green grassfield likewise;
flows her hair---the color of the sand.
Her breath yields to the skies,
whereas the earth holds her hand.

Even in eternal slumber, she smiles;
as her lips are roses filling the world,
wide--extended for miles,
cherishing the gift of the lord.

Ahh, this was beautiful... I agree with the others the imagery in this piece is breathtaking. The second stanza is my absolute favorite, yet the entire poem had a very serene feel, almost as if I was drifting as I read it. I am listening to the song now which truly compliments this piece, slow and warming much like the words of your poem. I must say this is excellent, one of my favorite poem and song combos. Once again, just beautiful...

Strong words made the poem come alive. I like the description of the nature and the positive ending. A excellent poem. Thank you.
