Reflection of the Soul

Check out my book, Seedy Town Blues Collected Poems on amazon.com

I've said her eyes had
the color of a madness shade
of blue.
That's not true.
They are the color of
love and angels, and
eternal spring.
Her eyes sing of
motherhood and light rain.
The sun shines through them-
a tepid pool that I
want to jump in and swim;
back float through the
daisies and spilled juice,
through the ravens-
all the way to heaven.

Hi Thomas, you have written poem about love and woman, it is very powerfull. I have seen your different writing styles, praising tgen teasing from middle, last few lines or last line. But this poem is completely talks about her and your adoration of her as a mother. Hope all your misconceptions have been sorted out. Every man treats himself as a kid in his lady's. I would feel this is not the change i made in you as it sounds manipulation. I would say rather its development of a tadpole or worm to further fully matured being.
Its not too late that it took time to develop i hope no forced growth like hybrid, i know it was natural.
Its an inspiration for treating her so.

Thank you for allowing me to read your poem.

Either this an angel or love that reflects what you see inside the words show what can only come up from heart, a treasure that will last til the end of time.
Thank you for sharing.

Good write

Descriptive and deep. Bringing the character of your mother? to the fore.

Thank you kindly, Ken.

The eyes are the mirrors of the soul. You can certainly see deep into hers. Lovely write Thomas. You can see and feel her beauty, inner and outer.

'Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder' ~
How every thing is redefined with the pen of a heart that can see and feel a little extra every time. Beautiful!
