Photograph

Velvet crushed heart

Plastic body

Turquoise eyes

Silk corset

Constriction

Charcoal feathers

In her forest

Sitting in a tree

Vine wrapped cherry tree

A photograph

Her snap shot
 
When she loosened her grip

Her thoughts fell to the ground

Ink trails

A line of water that flows to her garden

Clouds that paint a lantern

Set the mood aglow

Name read like it was written with her eyes

Gem

A rarity

Slight smirk is visible

Hair drifting down her back

A cracked memory

These eyes

Torn

To the attention of the taker

So many expressions

Only one slate

Her beauty

A picture is worth a thousand words

But these moments are priceless
