Dining by the Waterfront
Such beauty in this world wounds deeper than any bullet, yet it heals miraculously greater than any medicine. All reactions possess my state in these instances when you flash before my mind’s eye: admiration, stupefaction, shame, trembling, shamelessness. These are just a few.
Belief is a feeling not too dissimilar to a burning desire
But a step beyond that towards faith, higher and higher
Oh monarch who keeps her state with such grace
Queen of sweet lips and heavenly adorned face
Whose eyelashes sight broke our spirit in the ranks
Of those platoons whom love has routed by the banks
I have been overcome by wonder and longing
With a new cut of my flesh each hour from your absence
Standing in shallow silence gazing by the shore
An ocean of love beckoning from the tide swore
‘Every speck of dust on these coasts know the lore
I’m past a million feet deep, now fear no more!’
She took me gently into her warm embrace
Entirely I dove in, forgetting time and place
Visually fetching as they catch the light when raised, a whole new palette is revealed to the eye, from the inner optics of the artwork. In other words, shiny rocks.
Quick reminder:

I love you
