If you have never looked deep inside the eyes of a child, do it now! There is much more than you can imagine… 🌞
GREEN BERYLS
Two drops run down her cheeks;
In the space of one breath,
I caught the pearls,
Rolled them between my thumb
and index finger,
Smell them,
Guess their taste of honey melon,
“Why do they taste so sweet?”
“Don’t Know!”she replied peevishly.
“Your eyes are so beautiful.”
“I know “she said, wiping her tears.
“What’s the colour of your eyes?” looking deep inside her eyes,
“Saxon green!”
“Yes, indeed
and, I see the brilliance of the sun.”
“There are clouds too”she said
“Clouds make the rain,
then fall as tears!”

I love to write. I guess my writing has a special cliché of island 🌴 life, natural, unpretentious, and full of beauty.
