A Leaf On a Marble Plate

A leaf on a marble plate,
  an angle hushing behind swollen grass
  and resting still, in place
  
  Welcomed to every party
  her boyfriend is always late

  Under great sky arches
  black silken lace and angel face
  so softly at everyone glances

  Long lashes
  flashes of truth

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
