Human Portrait

Sharp features
render description moot
within the lines
that defy your lovely jawline
I submit
my audit
biased like yesterdays news
and made to tailor
just me
and just you

neurons spike
flying at high speed
through channels not yet discovered
they bargain with nerves
devishly sexy deals
that involve you smiling
just the way I like
which is
any way you smile

the wall encircles you
as a figure slumps on the ground
flecks of grace clump up
like knee's on unleaven bread
I see encompassed jewels
staring back
at worn fabric
used furniture
and a burned out heart
we'd negotiate
but priceless is on the rise
and your eyes
are my demise
