Texture...
To know is to feel
To look beyond merely seeing...
See the man inside me
Examine me as a novel
crease the spine
the bent pages tell my story
you read well between each line
Skin as ink-stained parchment
marked by tales of time
My portrait
stretched canvas exterior
wraps around a study of...
paint splashed interior
It's frame of life...
unfinished
As light's prism spills in many hues
choose a shade at will
a rainbow of colors
from my heart does spill
A mural of lessons learned
bits and pieces of shattered life
artfully arranged, displayed in a pattern
pleasing to eyes
uneven around the lines
Strip away the layers
peel away the veneer
feel the blood rush
my crashing ocean tide
a certain sunlight madness
My weakness is my here and now
for strength I cast a line
desired ever so much
The thirst burns constant
singes skin, escaping soul
consume whole
Touch and see
the color, the story
the texture...
of me
To look beyond merely seeing...
