An Image Of Your Gaze Poem by Mark R Slaughter

See!
my flowers flush
flaunt

Sort of dancing
in the bleach of sun
rebellious

Beaming back in blaze
defiant

We sprawl across each other's limbs
A verdant orgy
spoiling for disorder
haemorrhaging
coming colour

swells

turgid greens
push

splay out
silky foliage

Ornate
we wrestle
in our jewels

…

Now!
be the trees within the wood

A baby blue lobelia face
dinky hat
singleton of mind
inside this mighty picture

O! MANIC LIFE

…

Focus!
I'm the lonely
shy

an image of your gaze
to hone your beauty
err it fades

…

Brown eye catches
blue-blush cry
to read ‘I Miss You'

My centre-face
bleach-white
flares the message

…

About me
screams

The chorus ruptures
blows in Turner tones

Shattering your reply
