when i felt most beautiful


He asked me to dance,
And with every twirl,
And every shoulder glance,
A small piece of glitter
Stuck to his big navy sleeve.

And then, when I saw him
Later, with another girl,
His arm a new glittery limb,
That was the evening 
I felt most beautiful.

Because, when, in the morning,
I would be clean (and gone),
His big navy sleeve would forever hold
The sparkle that had shone.

  1. This is lovely. The whole concept of the sparkles brings up a good tie back to something greater. I love it.

  7. It's a good piece! It reminded me of the short story Dead Stars... but maybe that's just the emphasis on the sparkle in the poem.
