That I have fallen into vertical
A test to find me upright
Spreading into all the corners of the toast
Sweet jam

Thinned, expanded…transparent
Unaltered in the pressing of life’s dull knife

That he is the richness of the worthwhile day
Substance to flesh, fire to flame
Litmus telltale of the touch upon his heart
Pinked

Tanned, mystical…confounding me
Unfettered spirit misshapen, rescind on wind

Yet not the ego of the demon prince
A lily, once deposed and fondled
Open to the touch of honest warmth
Awakening

Sensual, alluring…simmered to sweet sauce
Grapes to wine, bouquet of everlasting fasting

That joy in reclamation of the effervescent
A trembled dream gloved white and weary
Sorrow’s vestment stripped away
The Lion Heart

Wow TD, that sounds like one decent dude!

Seriously, I can’t remember reading a poem about a fellah, as nice as this.

I hope the feelings are mutual.

You truly deserve, such happiness!
