enchanting eyes

enchanting eyes
caught mine
they shimmered like moonlight in winter
I fell in love too quickly
hearts split
love faded
not memories

    The simile, couched like a mirage in the heart of your poem, works so brilliantly, Maria, given what was gained and what was lost.

    Moonlight in winter sounds a bit cold

      I suppose, but some people may find that romantic. Thanks for reading.

      While not romantic I'm often found nostalgic for freezing moonlight nights walking home from the pub!

    Sounds like she fell under an enchantment. May the spell be broken -- but only if she wishes it to be.
