Life Through Blue Eyes
Pull up a chair and relax. Put your feet up. Fall into me and see bits and pieces of life from behind blue eyes. All photos are mine, for better or worse. Stay as long as you like. ♥ Diana ♥
Never Forget
those who sleep
in fields
of red
Like this:
Enchanted
in the land
of ogres and poison apples
wolves in sheep’s clothing
goblins, elves and trolls
she waits beneath the brambles
for a prince
Like this:
Summer Wind
sweet warm days
nights fused in amber
the summer wind
comes calling
Like this:
Laying Down Love
one brick
for every wayward
i love you
Like this:
Disturbing The Peace
with a slurry of soft waves
and a ‘hello’ from the bridge
an afternoon reverie
sweetly broken
Like this:
Self Portrait
with my eyes
i paint myself
in hues of summer
Like this:
Dreamland
i had that dream again
you know the one
where your kisses
fall like petals
on my night cooled skin
Like this:
En Plein Air
through morning’s rain-swept eyes
a Monet
in the making
Like this:
Eyeing The Past
statue in a park
i climb up for a closer look
and in his coal-black eyes
i see my past shining back at me
Like this:
Rendezvous
if our love
should break the world
meet me in the cracks
of the sky

The Tower
where Dame Gothel’s captive
languishes
plaiting her golden hair
Like this:
Tender
a little tattered
round the edges
from love’s ordeal
she’s an angel
with a broken wing
Like this:
Step Off
for every turn in life
a chance to step off
and discover an unknown
but i’m running
out of road
Like this:
Follow Me
to where wild roses
drip from tangled vines
and a bower of oaken shadows
sways
Like this:
Clearing The Rust
always a good day
when you have to scrape
corroded challenges
from the face of creativity
and bend them to your will
Like this:
Where Summer Lives
where fish jump
through concentric eternal circles
birdsong earns a Grammy award
and coal trains
shake
rattle
and roll
Like this:
Birthing Green
lush fat drops
of azure rain
plow neon furrows
how does your garden
glow
Like this:
I Remember
i remember
your cool soft touch
and the way the late day sun
kissed your pale skin
but i don’t
miss you
Like this:
On the Wind
in a moonlit field
they await the breath of Zephyrus
to send them
on a voyage of discovery
Like this:
Over The Rainbow
far beneath the burnished umber
and strata of petrified days
interred deep within the mire
of brass rings tarnished
lie the aches of elsewhere
keening
