Just like the cat

Just like the cat

A Poem by Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere
"

Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts. Paramahansa Yogananda

"



















With a view on eternity

floating on the white of a cloud

so is her face

 

it’s those eyes

two eastern tinted shelves

with a haze of hairs

a blush on the cheeks

that mingles with the sky

and the wind

 

they keep following me

hypnotic and compelling

as if they are saying

 

you’re mine

 

just like the cat

besides her

on the painting

Wow! Absolutely beautiful, I love it! Beautiful imagery and was compelled to read on. From the beginning, I was in awe of the description; something every woman wishes her husband/lover to see. How spot on the flow, vivid in detail. Thank you. Wonderful job.

I like the depth of this and I always enjoy a poem inpired by a painting. I love seeing how each brush stroke translates into words.

I really like that painting. What's the story, Rudi?

Beautiful artwork and description.
"it’s those eyes

with a haze of hairs

I wanted more story. You gave enough to tempt my interest.
her eyes are mesmerizing like a cat, why are they like two eastern tinted shelves? she is everywhere like the sky and the wind....ok, so the shelves are in the East and they have a wood finish on them, most of our wood is tinted or we tint it, ok that's what I'm getting from this, of course it's very romantic like all your stuff, very handsome of course too! You should be loved more! though you are I believe or hope for your sake,
