Emerald Green

There is an reflection in my soul
that is the shade of resplendent, emerald green,
and while never jealousy does it hold
it draws me forward as if in a dream.

The most serene queen of hues,
its brilliancy like one undone
when looked deep into the emerald stone
perchance one sees the sun.

Other colors are preferred, as is blue
but without emerald green to be held up to
the sky by way of tree-lined horizon
there'd be nothing to take my eyes from.

The color of emerald in silken cloth
shimmers and melds to black
but with pulsation of body's hip
to deep emerald green it comes back.

Emerald lies deep in beautiful song
one hears it in an Irishman's melody
when he softly sings of his love
her green eyes sustaining his rhapsody.

If colors alone ever had true wealth
I would ever be rich in emerald green
for while never jealousy does it hold
it brings me closer to heaven's dreams.

Now I think it's complete and what a poem you did.
Her green and dark eyes
Make me realize
That beauty lies within
Under the layers of soft and tender skin
Bravo



The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.

Excellent Sunshine.    I have ticked that little box  

Yes, I am here, but I am dead, not alive,
my body goes on, my spirit has died
and I though alive, feel dead inside.

This is a gorgeous work, Sunshine. It made me look for "green" in the font colour selection, but none to be found  ! I voted for ya.

Hi Sunshine. Beautiful poem! They call Ireland "The Emerald Isle," with good reason.
Glad you submitted.
I got that other problem solved by the way.

There are green eyes in my day dreams
there is a sweet lass in my arms
there are ruby red lips I like to kiss
that brings sunshine to my life...

Oh dream, Oh dream in Irish Green,
where the love of my heart i'll find.

.... I just love that colour, vote!
