Subjective Interlude

flowers in conversation 
or
confrontation 
in white-bright light.
duet, leaning
as if elbowing the window
of an automobile,
glaring-blank stare.
the other with violet eyes -
the kind
that drives the point
home.

True, there are probably as many hues in colors as there are words in a dictionary. As sometimes silence speaks volumes. The warmth of one can indeed break the ice of another, if given a radiant glance. Great write! Outstanding!

A metaphoric masterpiece which begins with the first line and never releases the reader.

I imagine this was written in metaphoric language of which you are so adept. Well expressed. Hugs.
