SHADES
The
clouded rays
Of
mystery’s root,
Has
grown like sails
On
my uneven sketch.
I
draw these uncanny lines
Pictures
of an unseen you,
You’re
art,
You’re
mystery,
You
are a muse.
The
elegant pout of your lips,
They
glow in the nascent dark,
Willing
me to a kiss,
The
maddening rush of love’s release.
Your
eyes stare,
At
my despair,
Beautiful
hope they bear,
The
look of love underneath,
It’s
rounded shiny stare.
Your
skin recites,
The
tales of the African glee,
You’re
a queen, ebony free,
Glowing
in the wave of the suns glare,
You
take my eyes every day.
You’re
many dreams untold,
You’re
grace and heavenly charm.
I
know you a lot, but not enough
To
know my dreams and my thoughts are you.
You
are mystery in the way,
I
know you
When
I don’t
How
I see your beauty
But
hardly see you.
You’re
a cloud of beautiful imperfection
Perfect
enough
To
wrestle me free,
Into
love’s realm.
I
draw these lines,
Pictures
of you,
With
words.
Till
I could say,
You
are the voice in my head.
You’re
a muse.
But
I wait at this window
Where
hope meets beauty,
With
all good reward
I
hope to love
The
beautiful shades of you.
