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)

It feels like I have read this before... Like looking into a memory of those sparkling eyes that smiled love. You have found a neuron that was sleeping and you have energized it. Thank you for sharing this write.

This is really beautiful. It's a pure yet deep emotion that you've brought out here. It's enjoyable to read. I especially like
"Silently this rose a’ blooming
On a breeze of spring’s sweet air
Whispering o’er fragrant mornings
Secrets journey in thy stare"
because it evokes a paradise that you can see inside her stare. That's pretty intense :) Good work! Look forward to reading more!

So not fair, us brown eyed girls only get an honorable mention from Van...ha.

Seriously, it's a beautiful sentiment, those eyes blew me away to quite frankly.
