Girl with a Pearl Earring
Lift your head - look not in shadows
Gaze not into murky dark pools
Raise high - let nothing foreshadow
Let your heart be my muse.
Let me dry ephemeral tears away
Let me paint a portrait genius
Dull the moonlit night into disarray
Turn the sun - into trickster's waxes.
Let me isolate the stars in a gaze
Catch jeweled a virgin panorama…
This world displays, let all else, malaise
On an earring, dangling - white fuchsia...
