Best Earring Poems

That pensive look on her sweet face 
Just like a child of mine.
Her eyes seem to follow you with
Dominion that's divine.

Northwest light on soft blush hued cheeks
Her grey-green eyes lay bare
Perhaps a secret rendezvous 
In enigmatic stare.

Wet lips stained as if with cherries
Delft blue scarf...

I’m struck by the stark contrast
of her image
which leaps out
against a black background

Meeting the gaze
of her piercing blue eyes
I find her so beautiful
much more alluring than the Mona Lisa

A colourful teal and gold turban
hides her tresses
perhaps giving emphasis
to a solitary pearl earring
which skims the collar...

A hidden treasure
shiny and gold
underneath my pillow
almost a perfect circle
once hanging
from a lovely earlobe
on the gypsy lover
that came and went with the moon.

The wind has brought me
her name this morning
I recall the blue and gold scarf
that draped her shoulders
apple-blossom cheeks
bright red lips slightly apart
affection waiting...

Atop my mirrored dresser are earrings,
and many pretty pairs are on display
along with necklaces and other things.
I love my jewelry but oh, one day!

I saw a lovely pair had lost one mate!
Pure sapphire was the set. I almost cried
to see just one remained. What was...

I am a suitor sneaking upon her
or perhaps a light breeze upon her shoulder

exasperation or is it disappointment parts her lips,
simple indifference, unfulfilled hope?

turban undisturbed, 
in careful turn from light

would be I the target of her stare,
the reason for embalmment leap 

to me, to sit...

Her glance intriguing 
A simple pearl drop earring
Alabaster skin
Hair in a turban like wrap
Portrait of innocence

Nobody knows I have it
But I know it’s still there
Your earring in my pocket
Let’s me pretend you care

You left it just the other night
I found it on the floor
Your earring in my pocket
Gives me hope that there is more

It’s just a little thing
It’s not part...

Earring

Standing in line, 
In my resolute behavior
Looking with contempt
At all the things ,that make my ears burn
Standing there waiting my turn
Conscious of the slow movement of the line
I hear the argot language, in the conversations that surround
My mind
Using patience and self-control
I begin to socialize until...

 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...

Whenever I stare at you, you also gaze. 
You have beautiful eyes; I'm amazed.
Words cannot convey the turban's grace, 
Its presence adds to your beauty's embrace.
 
Your bright face, your sparkling eyes, 
Your fancy pearl, your charming smiles
All are attractive, all are impressive, 
All are...

Mesmerizing pearl
Exquisite timeless jewel
Balanced harmony
Enchanted luminescence
Canvas beauty for all time.
