Photograph
Velvet crushed heart
Plastic body
Turquoise eyes
Silk corset
Constriction
Charcoal feathers
In her forest
Sitting in a tree
Vine wrapped cherry tree
A photograph
Her snap shot
When she loosened her grip
Her thoughts fell to the ground
Ink trails
A line of water that flows to her garden
Clouds that paint a lantern
Set the mood aglow
Name read like it was written with her eyes
Gem
A rarity
Slight smirk is visible
Hair drifting down her back
A cracked memory
These eyes
Torn
To the attention of the taker
So many expressions
Only one slate
Her beauty
A picture is worth a thousand words
But these moments are priceless
