beautiful ennui

beautiful ennui

 

 

it's the little details

the cumbersome, tedious nothings

those are why i love you

 

hearts can be shattered

by hard rock words

convoluted plots of deceit

the panes broken into

fragments of conquered esteem

and bulbous insolence

 

it's the little details

the cumbersome, tedious nothings

those are why i love you

 

you are a monotony of contentment

i would absorb over and over

because i know the window of your eyes

is transparency

 

that i can believe.

This is what true love is made of, being able to trust and having nothing to hide in the eyes... Sometimes the monotony can be the most wonderful thing in life.... Wow thanks for sharing this I love the feeling it gave me...

Yes, the tiny details of every day....they are routine and yet they are so comforting. We know what we can expect and we know what we can trust. "a monotony of contentment"....yes, I like that very much. Lydi**

Precisely!

I am left with the feeling that the writer knows everything about his subject matter. She can hide nothing from him at all .He is besotted with her to the point where he can penetrate into the depths of her soul. The eyes are the windows of the soul, and he can see through them.
