I swoon for beauty
So truly human,
The face of a boy
With joy illumined.
Yearning turned away.
My burden, my curse
Lifted as his lips
Slipped into my verse.
Embrace, erase time
Debased. Grace, the theme
Down at our feet, tame
Living as a team.
My truth is in blue,
A youth from an isle.
There, within his eyes,
I finally smile.
A place for my poems
