Captivated Adoration

Evermore eyes so bright
 they could pierce starlight,
a twinkling wonderment
      of an infectious smile,
the ultimate sentiment 
   upon a captivated heart
  amidst a tender child's
    earnest devotion of
       unyielding adoration

Aw, that is very sweet, Paloma. I agree w/Lyric Man. You set aside your Warrior Princess armor and gave a truly tender hearted poem straight from the heart. I loved it very, very much. You touched this heart of a child within me. Beautiful sequence of seamless imagery of words. Excellent in all ways. Brilliant depth of thought/simplicity of expression. Much love from RW.

This is beautiful Paloma. I could see this wonderful scene play out in my mind as I read. Those big eyes, opened and learning, nothing is more pure.

Kids truly love without an agenda, unless of course it's Christmas. Thanks so much Chris, much appreciate your kind words.
