Renaissance [poetry]

Pearls Among The Sea

My gown sweeps the floor

As the mundane party begins

Sparkles of splendor everywhere

But benign hearts nowhere to be found.

Echoed through the hallway, the clinking of glasses

The hoax of the carefully poised smiles

Added to the dullness of nobody's realm

Captivated neither by the stares nor the wine

I stare down at my empty glass

My eyes travel through the unkempt masses

Seeking for what the heart feels genuine

True to the abodes of the heavens above,

There I see

Another pair of eyes,

Seeking what I seeked.

Our eyes greet, a moment of epiphany

The search for the unfeigned, to an end at last

Exploration of a peculiar shared interest,

Just at the brink of dawn.

The beginning of something beautiful,

Sealed with a promised dance.

I might as well thank you my Lord,

For the sleepless nights that are yet to follow.
