She holds divine diamonds
Piercing dark portals on innocent smiles
A skipped beat, held breath
Reading cards waiting in the deck
Kaleidoscope memories tumbling at the twists
Love forever, or just a second
Effervesce and overflow
Strike me dead! Enchanted in that delicious gaze.

That line would likely trouble my ESL students! But I enjoy these sounds too.

Shaun this part gets to me bigtime:
“tumbling at the twists
Love forever, or just a second”
Time traveling throughout, yet a paradox of still in a moment, in such a titillating way.

I’m glad this came across for you Lisa.
My main idea around this poem is walking into a room full of people, catching glimpses of possible futures, living a whole life in a second.
Thanks 🙏

A tantalizing write but it is missing the “spark”, Shaun! (You forgot to include the prompt word). 😉
