elegance

“Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future.” (coco chanel)

elegance

she moved with timeless grace
colour streaming from eyes
formed
lips
soft sighs
her life filled with the stories
remembered and forgotten
harsh words scrapped across a bruised knuckles
as she slipped on love
again.

she moved with timeless grace
colour dancing in waves
across her shoulders
holding her
dreams
in small fluttering hands
of whispering thoughts
long since lost
in his lime green eyes
quenched with
bright furious passionfruit.

timeless grace moved her
sunbeams strewn across pale arms
freckled clouds
parted her hair
streaming rivers movement
and for a moment
she was there
and nothing else mattered.

Gorgeous photograph! Love that green! I’m having a love affair with old walls, too, these days. Your photographs are deliciously vibrant. I admire artists like you who can create such beauty in colour. For some reason, I keep going back to black and white and shades of grey or brown. I want to jump into your brightly coloured photographs.

I love these words, especially the power of the last stanza. “she was there and nothing else mattered.” Delicious and perfect. Thank you!
