Glimmer... Poem by Nestor David Armas

Oh that I could;

Lift that veil of mystery,

Behind those twinkling eyes;

An obscure conundrum,

For when she smiles;

All that just floats on,

Past my intrigue;

And I'm endeavored,

To hold that image in a frame;

Forever caught still,

In a permanent light;

Immortalize her soul,

Which shines bright;

A guiding brilliance,

I want to know what drives her being;

Holds her heart together,

Makes her rise and set;

Like the stars and their sun,

How she makes a moment;

Of pure inertia seem fun,

All without lifting a finger;

As she makes the moments drift,

Seamlessly into one another;

I release the shutter,

She can't be contained;

Not within these confines,

She is a super nova;

I can only hope to grasp,

But the glimmer of her rainbow...
