She smiles from the heart

by Maher   Jan 26, 2015


Is it true you light the dark side of the moon?
Like a white sheet in the sun on a sunny afternoon,
that shares it's brightness with who cares to stop and look.
It seems there's fortune in your stare, and a phone in your back pocket,
filled by the name of one you'd never care to share.

Welcome to the tangles of my heart.
It's best you find a path, else you'd stray into the dark.
Narrow hallways call your name, while spacious rooms will echo nothing of the subtle beats that ripple and refrain.
There's a windmill to your left, and a bucket 'neath the pump,
feel free to drink, my love, while the water's at its best.

I see the stars have found their envy within you.
Colossal bridges left to the mercy of this Summer day in June,
where the white wings of a bird beat to your eyes' blinks - what a tune.
Love the tears that you live by and embrace the one who breaks your cry.
That pretty smile that lights the dark side of the moon.

    While reading this, I get images of being back at school reading an anthology text book, listening to my teacher tell us how to best analyse the piece. Your style is so classic, in some ways old school with a modern twist. I guess it just feels homely and familiar to read something of such perfection, like it's a famous writer's piece.

      Thank you Tim. It's funny you mention school because while writing it, I pictured my English class when Mr Cobon was our teacher. Also the future Mrs, but English lessons from back in high school too. Thanks for reading it :)

    This utterly, an amazing poem.
    Excellent phrasing, perfect word choice, such a missed classic style Ive seen in few of my favorites on here.

    Loved the way you started and ended this, had an amazing twist, loved every single line and its metaphor!
    Very deep and awe-ing.

    This should have been highlighted earlier, never came across it.

    Well done anyway !
