A Challenge

I'm going to put a challenge out. One word. One word to write about. You can include it in the story, you can include it in the poem. Use it as an idea. Use it as a spring board...but make it under 250 words.

The word prompt is ALCHEMY. Post them here and link to your blog.

Here is mine:

Alchemy


She had a look, a perfect touch
to the top of her eye
the eyebrow arched in black
significantly to leave
a perfect sphere
entangled with the color
blue
outlined in green

…and he was caught.

In those perfect eyes
he could see his future and his
horrible past
and wish to live out his days
gazing
below that perfect eyebrow
and into the sea of
blue and perfect green

…and she was caught

looking into earnest eyes
fringed so dark with
black lashes
and a heart throb of crinkles
bottoming out
with a smile that
weaved a life time
of safe

They were caught

And it wasn’t a bad thing.
