Met in damp light
Tattooed in broken eyelashes
Glove less hand over face
Turning away from shadows
At the edge of the window
Preserved for all eternity
A poem in a photograph
Standing a beat apart
Changing directions in seconds
(Inspiration taken off the above picture of my friend, Danielle)

Just to add to previous comments Andy - for me, the poem didn't need the photo - I find it too much of an intimate distraction and the words themselves convey enough for me to formulate my own 'poem in a photograph'.
Hope you don't mind me saying this. All the best.

Stunning. Proves that all you need is a heart and genuine feelings, to write...Just superb
Hi Andy
Yep this is definitely a cracker with all that is not said as much as all that is said. Great stuff. See you soon
thanks for the comments, guys. a short little poem this wrote for a friend to prove a point really.
glad you liked it.
The depth of your work, Andy, goes from strength to strength. This is really good.
Check 'Gloveless' or Glove-less' to see whether you might have meant 'without a glove'.
I hope you are happy.
Really enjoyed this Andy - those first two lines are killer, mate. Some lovely dense layering here, with a great finish.
Now that's what I call reserved affection. Able to deny its existence and also to pursue it. Well played sir.
