seem like when she laughs, she cries
when she’s sad she’s full of hope
when she’s lost she’s found the right way to go
her dreams are written on scraps of paper
keeping her warm at night
she’s someone you shouldn’t underestimate
she has electric eyes
when it rains they’re gray
when sun’s out they turn vivid green
when she feels passion they’re multicolored
with the intensity of her unlocking emotions
eyes are windows to the soul
nobody knows how long they have on earth
it’s hard to let go
but she’s brave in her pain
she’s a risk-taker in love
taking chances with her heart
the fragile are warriors
so don’t let her down
don’t rip her apart
she’s the one who silences emptiness
she’s in the recesses of your thoughts
you can’t forget her if you tried
she has electric eyes
Love it!!… This would lend itself well to song.
Thank you dear one xo
Even with the power off, her electric eyes glow.
beautiful as always Candice
Nicely written! Poignant as usual X)
Thank you very much!
Thank you dear one
😉
Electric eyes! I like that this can mean different things.
She has the power to look right through you- and beyond this earth alone. You can never forget some one especially when the heart has been closed by pain…… Her eyes are the door way to your heart- upset her and you will notice the eyes penetrate your soul. Her emotions reflect in to your very being -by the eyes of green in sun shine. Never lost- always moving forward with hope and desire and passion. Look in to her eyes and your soul will catch on fire. But do not mess with her !! When she speaks to you- look at what she sais to you with her electric eyes…….. Thank you !!!!!
Thank you my beautiful friend! ♡
If YOU are then that’s my fantasy met!
Excellent extension of this! My talented fellow writer!♡♡
I am sincerely humbled and touched by your comment. Means so much coming from you !! Not many people can bring a tear to my eye and my heart- you certainly can -and do……. What a beautiful comment to have received this night….. You have healed a wound within me- and I am so thankful….. Bless you dearest friend….xx
I met that woman once, beside a river bed full of rain…
This piece reminds me of the Beatles “Carnival of Light.” A 14 minute Beatles song that Paul McCarthy has trying to release for 50 years, but which has been denied by George Harrison and his subsequent estate. Paul holds the original “master tapes.” I heard it in London. It would change everything that people think about the Beatles. Cheers. Perception is fragile. It can change over night.

I really like her! She looks so familiar. I could swear I’ve met her before.
Some people have piercing eyes that see right through to the Heart of the Soul. That kind of deep connection is so – electric – as you say. You don’t forget it 🙂
” The fragile are warriors “. So much in those wonderfully written 4 words! The fragile are often just cast aside without anyone ever taking the time to know them or their potential. They often face battles alone because of this. Beautifully written! Thank you for taking us on your journey and being a voice for those who are seldom heard!
Thank you so much! I do agree that the fragile HAVE to be warriors don’t they?
Actually you do – I know what you mean it’s not about color or size just the intensity
Thank you!
We exist to help others, to heal their wounds, not to wound them. I firmly believe this. It is better always to love than hate. To help than harm. Bless you also my friend.
You know we should collaborate on something? I mean I adore your work and you like mine, it’s inevitable! I don’t know if we can, I find collaboration hard but not impossible, if you are interested then let’s do it!
There are so many fragile among us! Many fighting daily personal battles. Prior to the death of my brother and nephew, I spent many hours visiting nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Those fragile souls fight many daily battles alone. It seems odd at first but the fragile, when looked at from this perspective are some of the strongest among us. The fragile are often alone. Facing each day alone takes a tremendous amount of strength. Thank you for being a voice for those who may never be heard ! You, as their voice are a wonderful and strong advocate!
Thank you my friend! You have lived a good life, thus far and have plenty more ahead, and with all your struggles you continue to be one of the best people I know in terms of the size of your heart and compassion. That is no small thing. It is noticed. I really hope you find a way through the pastoral counselor program as I think you would be so awesome at that
EXACTLY ! Agape love- Selfless…..
This is truly amazing. The picture as well
It was a good example of electric eyes, the other being some anime! 😉
YES YES YES. So much yes. I’d be honoured. Let me think of a way that we can do this and I’ll get back to you 😉 xxxxxx
Deal!♡♡
This superb poetry. I love all of it! you’ve taken me through a journey in describing this woman and her electric eyes. Your words inspire me to write more poetry. Thank you!
Thank you!♡♡♡
she’s the one who silences emptiness
she’s in the recesses of your thoughts
you can’t forget her if you tried”
A better description for my Muse..I don’t think there is one. *sigh*
Oh but you are able to write so much about her and so well I am a mere acolyte when it comes to muse-descriptions though Nathalie is a really good example of someone who can pull it out of you without trying!
yes she is! and thank you, Candice. ❤
I told her (and I wasn’t even joking) she ought to post a photo of what she’s wearing every day, she rightly reminded me that this could be a bit narccissistic and I suppose it could be (though not from her, and not for us!) ha ha! 😉 Soon it will be the next season of GoT so we GOT to get ready!
LOL! I understand.
Yes, GoT! Alll Hail Daenerys Stormborne!!! She’s coming to kick some ass! 🙂
All I can say is they had BETTER NOT kill any dragons!!!!!!!
I hope they don’t either…but with three of them..I fear there will be one that goes. 😦
Yikes. I guess I had better collect a bucket for my tears then ….
💙
I actually don’t know this woman you described but she must be a magnificent lady.
🙂 She’s out there!
I hope she must be amazing
If you live in India then you are probably surrounded by them. I have found Indian women to be highly intelligent, beautiful, compassionate and talented.
Well its nice cause I am and live in Gujarat so I guess I am seeing those electric eyes every once in a while.
