Poem Title:
Poem
The glamour of her skin faded like late-afternoon sunbeams that settled on rose petals 'dust But , not the light in her wide chatoyant eyes That light was still glowing bright Like a freshly washed white frock of an ingenue child A child who knew, each flutter of a butterfly churning deep inside was to be preserved for this ineffable day. Today , the day She was to greet 'the one ' Down the valley , by the orchid tree where minutes ticked seconds and time. For so long , She waited for this moment to turn and find him there , to look him in those eyes Eyes circled with wrinkles of loss and laughter of many deaths and life. His demure maiden . The cynosure who filled his thoughts without even knowing how or why , For weeks, months, and years Was She there by his side ,or was this another betraying vision of the lissome lady's smile ? It was her voice . It was the mellifluous sound of her song lulling him into sleep.This was not Endymion's dream Nor an unheard wish on spumes of falling stars. This was the warmth of his breath upon her neck's nape It was their once so vacant hearts , beating one to one. It was their holding of hands, their first promised dance. A panacea to a long term desease of loss , and loss again. A new chapter -to be continued. A sempiternal journey of what little time remains. Trembling hands ,Scribbling verses on hopskotch Alll ending with the same repeated names and unforgettable joyous refrains. Thanks for the ten words challenge S.One 1) Glamour , 2) Chatoyant, 3) Igenue , 4) ineffable , 5) demure 6) Sempiternal , 7) panacea, 8) mellifluous, 9 )lissome , 10) cynosure Who wants to know the meaning of all these ten words pls read S. One 's ten word challenge poem. Fiction Poem
