Are turquoise eyes in the night an illusion?
dancing to the songs of a nightingale
draped in willowy shadows of seclusion

Lavender fog becomes a twilight sail
like a wave beckoning to the pharos
sandy fingers touching shoals like Braille

Once a Queen in the arms of a pharaoh
as the Nile drifts within melodic rhyme
Egyptian winds stunningly dance their balero

She remembers once upon a time
within the beaded fringes of the moon
the adoration of his love sublime

Turquoise eyes within a Persian cocoon
she dances alone to a nightingales tune

You captured me with the title as turquoise is my favorite color but the beauty of this poem is what held my attention. Stunning. I love it. **big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

I love the imagery you use in your poetry. The words are so in tune with my own thoughts .....God, I can't seem to put a thought together today. I hate this feeling.

thanks for this.

My perception of truth will somehow never quite be the same..and so I write.
