Cerulean Eyes


 
Cerulean Eyes

~
across the way
last night’s rain
puddles
‘midst the field of clover

trapped for the moment
isolated from the waters of earth

it gentles its way to the stream
in search of mother sea

this day begins
dewy and crisp

bird songs lilt
‘cross the sunrise lane

lover and beloved
we sit by the morning window
with tea
and curiosity.

we talk

in this moment
our souls spill
one into the other
until I am distracted

your lips continue sculpting words

but I’ve fallen deep
aswim in your cerulean eyes

  1. OH what a romantic…love it. Your words even make me swoon. You have a marvelous spectrum of poetic expression, from hard-ass defiance, fist bumps, and gut punches to butterfly wings, rainbow trout leaping, deep forests beckoning, to silkies and dolphin races, to Dickinson verses with Gary Snyder point of views–a veritable plethora of poetic possibilities. It is an honor to know you, brother.

  2. That moment when the world seems to stand still, when the magnetic presence beside you makes all else, no matter how that calls to you, seem to disappear – you’ve captured it here, Rob, with your gaze into her eyes.

  3. Exquisite, every bit of it, Rob. The trapped water. “Lover and beloved” “aswim” Mesmerizing and comforting to know love still exists between two out there.

    1. Love stories are always in this world Lisa, somewhere. The intensity does not last indefinitely, but it is magical when it does. I have been married three times. The third started with this intensity. It was wonderful, and we are still together after 33 years — thankfully that roaring beginning has grown into something more deep and sustainable.

  4. An amazing romantic capture, Rob! I love the puddles of last night’s rain ‘isolated from the waters of earth’ and the cosiness of lover and beloved sitting by the morning window ‘with tea and curiosity’ – the closeness that true love brings.

  5. I like the way you set up the most lovely scene, saving the most intimate moment to the end. I especially love the idea of souls spilling into each other. So beautifully penned.
