Sur Le Metro
 
The delicate curve
Of her neck
Echoes her violin
 
An errant lock
Of darkest hair
Entrances
 
Her faraway eyes
Are lost somewhere
I yearn to see
 
I am lost
Within her
Music
 
I am lost
Within her
Elegance
 
I am lost
Within her

 

Merlin

Merci, Rhumour!
 
Thanks, Kayano.  This was a lady busker who enthralled me on the metro to Champs des Mars station in Paris. When she was playing, it was like nothing else existed for her. From your comment I gather you play violin? Must be amazing to drift away like that...
 
Thanks, Jen. It was a slightly surreal moment. (Not too many violinists to be found on the underground in my neck of the woods!)

I too thought this was beautiful Merlin, this created such an evocative picture to me, I felt I could see her through your eyes.
 
You've reminded me of a poem I wrote some time back called the Métro which I may post again, I hope you won't think that presumptious - just your poem recalled it to my mind

Thanks, Ken. The subject certainly pushed mine, so I had to try and capture the moment. I'm pleased you liked this.
 
Comments like that make sharing poems worthwhile, Emma. I take that as a real compliment, so thank you. And it's certainly not at all presumptious! I often find that another poet's words prompt either a new pen or bring an existing one to mind. The whole is greater than the sum. I see that you have posted yours already, but I shall keep it is a read for tomorrow as I'm about to turn into a pumpkin!
