Tarkay pronounced tar-keye

TARKAY LIDS OF MERLASS ~ Coal burns the core of her eyes ~ a red glow ~ Tropical zeal of tangerine skin ~ burnt umber ~ Locks of silken gold waves ~ sunflower-shy ~ Jeweled aquamarine of the sea ~ jealous for her beauty ~ Foamy waves tinged deep blue ~ luxuriant lashes ~ Eternal supply of indigo shades ~ Tarkay lids ~ Purple orchids of a fitted swimsuit ~ rhythmical dance Kim Rodrigues © 2017 *Tarkay - an artist who always paints women’s eyelids *Merlass - Mermaid

I am not familiar with Tarkay but I will be, though until then I will just be in awe of the beauty of your poetry Kim. This one was exceptionally beautiful.

I love this one, Kim. I have several Tarkay prints and splurged on one original. His colors are beautiful and so is your poem.
