love versus fate

beautiful eyes
like a golden dawn
lingers in his dreams
for so long

silver smiles
was a love call
to her yearning heart
from the start

fate’s sentinel
watches from afar
cuts the lines clean
with no regard


- Written for dVerse Poetics: Daffy for Daffodils, Sprung for Spring.  I used the following daffodil variety names: beautiful eyes, golden dawn, silver smiles, love call and sentinel

  3. I like the balance between love and fate in your daffodil poem, Maria, with the romantic eyes and silver smiles being threatened by fate from afar.
