Girl With a Pearl Earring
GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING
by Johannes Vermeer
I am covered
In shades of light
An exotic dress
In gold and white
An oriental turban
In blue and gold
And a pearl earring
That shimmers bold
Lips parted
As if to speak
Bright eyes turning
To take a peek
Who are you
Who capture me?
A simple girl
I'm your tronie
In a fleeting moment
I turn my head
My eyes are wide
Words are unsaid
My intimate glance
Has caught your gaze
And you brush your strokes
Gripped in a daze
