The Girl with the Emerald Eyes

I saw a photo, the eyes mesmerized me with their beauty

 

 

The Girl with Emerald Eyes

By jack

 

 

O’er the dreams of distant waters

Harmonies in sunset skies

Sings a voice, so far down under

Of the girl with emerald eyes

 

A photograph, upon I’ve stumbled

As if fate does guide my view

Nature’s truth, this vibrant beauty

Caressing of these visions true

 

Silently this rose a’ blooming

On a breeze of spring’s sweet air

Whispering o’er fragrant mornings

Secrets journey in thy stare

 

As I pause, my pulse it quickens

Tracing of this image shown

On her eyes my touch does linger

Mesmerized within their glow

 

Still, my glance it longs to wander

O’er this face, pure satin sheen

To those eyes, O’ moonbeam glisten

Heaven’s perfect shade of green

 

Hold me close, for I am breathless

Of this dream I fantasize

Restless heart, in rhythm’d beating

For the girl with emerald eyes

Author's Note

I saw a photograph and found the most beautiful eyes staring back at me. I was mesmerized and had to put how I felt to words.
Written for a good friend far away in a land down under (with the most beautiful eyes)

Lovely as always--made me picture a mermaid in a lagoon. Especially with "for I am breathless" as in drowning in her beauty.

[Jack...]

Thank you so much and I can tell you, when I saw the eyes that inspired me I was drowning in her beauty.

A lovely write.
I'm trying to imagine what those emerald eyes look like!
They'd be really pretty just like the poem.
Keep Writing!

[Jack...]

Thanks so much

[Emerald Seas]

Why, thank you, Jack! I didn't realize you were writing of my eyes. lol...

What a beautiful poem of those haunting green eyes that captured your attention (whomever she may be). You did them justice in this fabulously written piece.

[Jack...]

Thank you so much and I can only imagine that if your eyes are green they must also be beautiful

[Emerald Seas]

Why thank you. I can't judge myself - you'll have to look at my pictures and let me know.

[Jack...]

My god, they are beautiful. I am attracted to green eyes. Yours look as if the are made of glass, very beautiful.

[Emerald Seas]

Thank you. I may have to put up the picture I took ages ago of just my eyes - windows to the soul, so I've been told :)

[Rufus "Mr Blaque" Lacy,..]

I've done that before, where you see something so mesmerizing that you can't help but write about it. Once again you have produced a wonderful poem.

[Jack...]

Thank you kind sir.

[LA Lorena]

Another most beautiful poem Jack, with lovely cadence and flow. You do know I'm a sucker for a tight rhyme scheme, don't you ? ;)

[Jack...]

Thank you so much dear Lorena. Yes you have told methat, why do you think I write this way??? So I can see you smile.

[WhiteWillow]

Your words flow like a stream, and collect in a deep shimmery pool, a beautiful place to visit. Much enjoyed.

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much. Your comments make me smile.

[I, Rene]

Well that's just beautiful, loved this stanza best :
Still, my glance it longs to wander
O’er this face, pure satin sheen
To those eyes, O’ moonbeam glisten
Heaven’s perfect shade of green

[Jack...]

Thanks Rene, your comment always thrill me.
