I know the bottom section has appeared like a lego brick into various poems.  The whole came from "The Lady and The Hawk" but I have finally put all the thoughts (maybe not all - still some more lingering).

Hope you like it.  It seems to come together.

Dave


Velvet Eyes


Clouds on a stormy day looked into your head and moved away
Eyes black a lightning storm flowing fire without warmth
Body strong instinct
Eyes closed open blank
Stark velvet
Deep
To destroy
What you wouldn't keep

First eyes
Lips wet
Tongue dry
Movement dancing on singing ice

Black
Moving hair
To mirror
Trees dancing in your eyes

Dress
Flowing a body
To cling
Your motions to a Scheherazade frenzy

Trees bare
Birch silver coins
Tossing frozen emotions
To a new horizon of forgotten debts

I look into your face
I look into your eyes
Your eyes shine to me
Your lips are wet
My tongue is dry

I look at the black behind you
The wind gently moves your hair
Your eyes deep like moons
The trees bow for you
As you move

Your dress is light
It moves with your body
My heart clings to my words
I look into your eyes
And see nothing

The beach is hot
The water cold
We miss lunch
I drink too much
You watch everything

The trees are bare
No leaves anywhere
I look for your eyes
The birch is silver
I shiver

I look into a station
I see you
On vacation

It's still not there.

I can feel and touch it but I think it will have to go on the back burner.   I've got about 12 poems like that, that I need to work on.

regards

Dave
