Late Love

[Delta40]

Your love for me shines
in skewbald greens and blues.
I shimmer
like a stained glass panel
in a door you rescued
from some salvage yard.

Cracked and dappled,
our hopes and fears
flicker in the sun.
Happiness glisters
on the horizon
complete with brass knocker.

[Dreamwoven]

A delightful poem!

Very nice poem!

I liked it too. Specially the image of the door and the idea of collecting ones splinters and pieces for a new love.

'Skewbald' is a beautiful word, and used beautifully here too. I'm also very taken with 'cracked and dappled'.

It's a delightful poem, Delta.

Beautiful poem Delta40. Perfect proverb for your stained glass panel. Hoping you continued bliss.

Skewbald is a colour pattern of horses. A skewbald horse has a coat made up of white patches on a non-black base coat, such as chestnut, bay, or any colour besides black coat. Skewbald horses which are bay and white are sometimes called tricoloured. These horses usually have pink skin under white markings and dark skin under non-white areas.

You're right of course ralphboats. When choosing a suitable synonym for marbled, skewbald was the one for my poem. It's length, sound and physical appearance appeal to me. I hope you enjoyed my offering.
