It's Still Life

dVerse: Quadrille #8

Virgin Green

These days are virgin green.
A sultan’s feast upon
our eyes. Satin pillows,
violet’s spring, bluebells
skipping a breezy song.
A child sits, picks
bouquets. Daisies. Clover.
For her mother. These are
her brightest days. Her
curly head unaware of
lonely nights.
Broken hearts.

    Oh I so hope she will have even better days… I hope that the world will be golden and verdant.

    unaware of
    lonely nights.
    Broken hearts

    Childhood innocence as yet to reach the tender stage of sharing feelings of love with someone special. Rightly so Misky!
