Darren White Poet Blank verse

Notes About The Poem

Diamonds From the Sky

He looks of far and in between
White hair with diamonds from the sky
A wood of wiry glow around
Expressive fingers, braiding braids
Forgotten strands of gold-spun hair
His feet swept pebbles in the surf
Small indentations filled with silt
With every look I hoped to see
His eyes on me with how I wished
To will his want to be for me
Be loved without a shred of doubt
To have his golden eyes on me
To magic shameful into proud

Gregory Richard Barden June 21, 2017 at 4:59 PM Beautiful love poem, my friend ... sensitive and endearing. The focused vision of passion and love - we see others so differently when their every move is a song ... a story we long to read. Love this! Darren White June 21, 2017 at 10:01 PM Yes, a dream like love, not very realistic, but still :)

Chris Green March 7, 2017 at 8:25 AM This was really nicely done my friend. The emotions have a life of their own in this wonderful piece of writing. I am not familiar with this form, but you seen to be very well versed on it. No pun intended. :) Darren White March 7, 2017 at 8:30 AM Haha :D What I love about iambic blank verse, is that it has that cadence of rhyme, but it doesn't rhyme. You don't notice it doesn't if you do the iambic blank verse the right way. Thatks Chris :)
