perched in the pale blue sky
the halfhearted moon gazes
down
from the stumblingdawn
but her eyes are not your eyes
(oh, those eyes, those blue eyes)
perched in the resinous cedar
tiny birds are charmed and
twinkle
above your head
beguiled by your eyes
(oh, those blue eyes)
perched in my willing heart
you neither
wax nor wane
but waltz wholehearted and true
will you dance with me with those dancing eyes
(oh, those eyes)
perched silver crowned
once winsomeyouth and
barefooted minstrel
that cunning boy
still winks at me
from those blue eyes
(oh those blue eyes)

“perched in my willing heart
you neither
wax nor wane
but waltz wholehearted and true” what a gorgeous line… the whole poem is beautiful.
absolutely delightful..loved this floating verse, Kathleen..
How blue eyes can be so much.. Maybe it’s because they are like mirrors to ourselves?
so loved the last few lines… very embraced work
i love how you get so lost in those blue eyes and how i can feel the comfort they give you… we have a woman here in the workshop who has the most fascinating turquoise blue eyes i have ever seen in my whole life
Lovely – I too enjoyed the repetition, especially as the line changes slightly through the poem. A good and interesting poem.
This is so lovely, the more so for your being a long-time couple. Such happiness reads to me like a fairy tale and I am so happy to have evidence it exists!
I too like the repetition in your poem, Karhleen. It seems to connect your poetic thoughts and reality.
Beautiful imagery.
This is a lovely poem, Kathleen. It begs to be read aloud. And, yes, I agree there can be something about blue years…no matter how many years have passed they continue to have their strong appeal. Point well made, especially with the repetition.
So musical so metaphorical and so romantic. Lovely piece
Musical work Kathleen – a lovely read… With Best Wishes Scott http://www.scotthastie.com
Those eyes, the windows of the soul…the face may change with time, but the spark remains in those eyes! Lovely!
I like how you used repetition in this–those blue eyes in parentheses–and especially the image of the halfhearted moon. Quite lovely.
How wonderful – windows to the soul of the one you love – this is like a song and a glorious one. Kudos!
Eyes of a loved one can make such an impression on us. Really liked how you used the repetition of those blue eyes…sweet.
my my Kathleen..here are we at the end of the winding diverse words of wisdom…
at dVERSE..
again..
and i do play with blue eyes too..
in my way of seeing the souls
of others
true…
WHAT COMES GOES..
WHAT FLOWS
STAYS…
true….
Thanks – so appreciate you dropping by and commenting! K
THE BEING OF MAN
A branch of Christ, the lovely vine,
is overwhelming and is fine.
As of the world the only light,
he sets the standard, quite all right!

I love the refrain of -those blue eyes – Kathleen ~ Goodness the magic works if he still winks at you from those blue eyes after all these years ~
