Gargantuan Smile

by JD Clay

 

Periwinkle skies

Collapse and roll

Over the eves and ivy

Severing the chasms of a

Cloudy intellect

 

There came a beam

So deep and wide

Its sparkling light outshined

The suns of known and

Unknown galaxies

 

Dimpled cheeks and

Gradient lips

Give chase to those

Who waltz upon the nebulae

Daring to go blind

I want to be a part of
"all
Who waltz upon the nebulae
Daring to go blind."
Your dear friend is blessed.

Delightful JD, just delightful. Very nicely done.

I like the addition of the first stanza, as I came back to read again and comment. It adds some fine movement to this and opens up the scene to "the beam". Lovely.

Dimpled cheeks and gradient lips~~~who could not smile back at these radiant words?

Your words challenge the heights and depths of poetry (and even this wouldbe poet) to travel dances, beyond and behind, smiling eyes and cloudy skies reaping glory, glory, glory...
dazzled blind.

You make me sigh with satisfaction

I hope your friend read this and appreciated it! Lovely piece. Great job.

For some reason... this reminds me of how I felt the first time I looked into my child's eyes! It was a fantasticly humbling moment... yet glorious. Thank You...

Wow, this poem all but frees me from the pull of gravity with its bliss and sheer delving delight into the galaxy of joy behind a smile. Thanks, pal, this is a sparkler.

The comparison is so simplistic, yet so profound.
