(my bounty is as boundless as the sea – shakespeare)

 

walking with words half un-written

sober, smiling, i am smitten

table tops and taco chairs

a green eyed beauties’ soft declare

 

i need my breath to laugh and sing

but you have taken that from me

absentminded flames abound

and focus when they hear the sound

 

of red haired bangs that gently hang

defining both the yin and yang

my poetry has been set free

in purpose of my only need

 

to sip the liquor of your lips

intoxicated from the drip

arrested for the crime of bliss

public display of drunkenness

 

the judge sees you and sets me free

then finds himself on bended knees

to thank the Lord he saw with sight

the reason why the poets write

 

no need for judges to affirm

what with one look this poet learned

that random atoms can’t contain

abilities to softly frame

 

exquisite beauty, perfect lines

needs holy wisdom of Divine

evidence of His existence

you declare with calm persistence

 

happenstance of circumstance

is born again with just one glance

until the beauty you possess

makes all else dim within its less

 

where ivory skin becomes akin

to sustenance we fight to win

against the lion of the pride

take the rest, i’m satisfied

 

heeding biblical behest

contentment with your supple breasts

the perfect storm within your form

all other thoughts are misinformed
