Auburn Reverie

Auburn Reverie

In the haze of softened light, she lingers, a figure woven from whispers and wistful air. Her auburn hair, a quiet cascade, curls like memory—loose, deliberate, undone. It crowns her fair skin, a canvas untouched, where time has left only faint fingerprints.

Eyes like unwritten verses glance sideways, half-knowing, half-dreaming, bearing the weight of what could have been said but wasn't.

Her blouse, yellow as forgotten mornings, clings with lace—a net for shadows, for sighs she never spoke aloud. Threads of sunlight dance on her neckline, revealing the slope of solitude etched into her form.

Behind her, the world dissolves, muted and muddled, as if her stillness has silenced the air. The warmth there is an ache, not for heat but for home, for hands that never reached her, for voices that faded before they arrived.

She gazes softly, but not at you— no, her focus is a place unreachable, a tender, timeless wound that keeps her whole and just out of reach.
