Black Marbles

There are several visible evidences of your true beauty...
Some are invisible, some are half-seen...
Maybe I'm fixated on all the wrong things...
Regardless, I regard you as my Supreme Queen...

What a blessing it is to have the ability to see...
Through sparkling black marbles made just for me...
For they are the windows into your sweet soul...
A place of pure comfort....a space you control...

As a child, I loved to play with glass spheres...
I've never grown-up....I still have my fears...
Your eyes, they have hurt me, I shed forth my tears...
I'm still just a child after all of these years....

Hi CK

Aren't we all? Superb rhyming throughout which makes this my kind of poetry - but more than that, a compelling narrative which draws the reader in. A great write.

Kindest regards

CK,

Once again, superb
flow and rhyme!

The marbles took
me back to when
I was child wondering
where the term
"Black-Balled" came from
Hence it was the Masons,
they used white and black
glass marbles when it came
to voting new members
Too many Black marbles, you
were out.

Great Poem!

So true. My mother was the supreme queen. Looking into your mother's eyes can reveal her comfort, displeasure, and her love for you among other emotions. As a child you get to read her mood very well through her eyes. I always look at eyes for moods, personalities and whether a person is sincere or not - you can tell. Thank you for sharing so beautifully.wave

Always loved marbles, such tiny colour within a beauty of glass.
Yet the game was, to a many a different ending.

First in the hole.
A spectrum deep in side the glass.
Pinging ones to swift away from the winning target.

Also
Colours, one made their mind up what was the best.

That jangle was good.

Black marbles was rare, yet you would have to play like others for.

I liked the blue ones.

In the pouch next to my knuckle bones.

Thanks Kyz.....it is more lyrical than poetic. purple heart
