‘The best part of beauty is that which no pictures express.’ – Bacon
multitudinous enrapture
The lunar crescent of his smile invites
my exploration. Evidence of life.
It waxes and wanes with soft silver light,
Illuminates features sharp as a knife.
Complexity of blue shines from his eyes
inventing spectrum shades yet undefined,
perhaps once captured by a midnight sky.

He speaks to me in truth and endearment,
With cello string words, an orchestral tone.
Sound so sweet, I get lost in the content.
His natural scent, addictive cologne.
He knows not of this physical appeal,
real beauty projects from something surreal.

Many have probably vibed by now that I dislike government. Continue reading…
Last night I had to get out of the house. The more I think about how long I’ve been locked away with nothing but time
and words… the more I’m amazed that I haven’t gone insane… and I still haven’t completely abandoned that theory. Continue reading…
