Dark eyes
seemed to see through me
ghosting into bricks and cobblestones
dimlit street glowing lamplights
wavered like candles in softest wind;
gaze of dark eyes …
and a face drawn in a moment
of giving and taking, flared
trembled , glowing light of its own
and she moved ever slightly,
to raise her chin and dark eyes
closed to a place within
and full lips returned a smile,
I had not given;
and chin lifted higher
lips parted just so
and my eyes felt her tonal exhale
beauty creased her forehead
and cheeks, as her palm caressed the glass
urgent, pressing and holding
like the cheek of Love
come so near after so long;
and my steps carried me
without notice as I passed
an exquisite frame…
dark eyes in a window.
In a list
Please tell me what you think

Each and every phrase that you penned made me visualize what you were trying to get through, yet there was such a delicate softness to each one painting a gentle glowing picture, beautiful poetry, mysterious without beating around the bush, excellent write!

Beautiful and filled with gentleness.
My favourite part is the second last stanza. A different way to describe a special moment and feelings.
Such a pleasant feel within this poem.
