Underneath
You use those pictures
all the time
they remain in the rotation
of Your profile
prominently displayed
more than once-in-a-while
when You see them
how much of that night
do You identify?
Your career has been substantial
has yielded countless images
that are worthy, presentable
often You show
shots from decades ago
so its not a mere case
of being up-to-date
is the costume
You are wearing
so stylishly compelling
it`s been decided:
that`s the persona
You are selling?
damn I hope
these assumptions
of Your motives being purely skin deep
are solely emanations
from within my tortured
bone walled keep
for that night
we both took a plunge
threw caution to the wind
to lounge
to lunge
to touch tongues
to feel as one
yet now
that sweet adventure is done
I wear a constant contortion
restrain my passion
minimize the drama
to preserve a tiny portion
of strained contact
with my spiritual sure thing
constantly wondering
when You upload those photos
do you feel me underneath?

I love the way you have changed your writing
from being a linear writer to writing
complete phrases. Again...this is only my
personal opinion...Good write and good read...

Kitty ........
I dont think ive changed my
style so much as embracing
a wider scope of expression.
thank you for introducing me to alternatives....

Indeed, the motive is always moot, underneath will usually not all be revealed, good one, D.
