~humbled flower seeking water~

Tulip patterns in crimson

tattooed

on the underside of my phantom eucharist

a portrait between my hands

I pour the color from my eyes

into the glass

under a windmill

orbiting blades against the clouds

I am looking for you in the frame

drawing hearts in the condensation

with my fingertip . . . .

"drawing hearts in the condensation with my fingertip . . . ."
I often find myself doing that. Simply put and it gets the point across quite eloquently. I commend you for that because this poem wouldn't have had the same effect if you would've drowned it in...oh hell what's the word I'm looking for...extravagant wording. (Isn't exactly what I was going for but it works.) You know when to hold back as oppose to drenching the reader with excess. Bravo =)

Amazing punch of words and color in a sweeping motion. I got images of Holland playing in my mind's eye, with the tulips and windmills...

Beautiful!
