Your smile shatters my thoughts
Sending shards of bitterness,
Brittle traces of cognition
Conditioned to your grace.
Your laughter shakes my soul,
Dislodged logic careening
Scattering upon the floor
Plans and designs unmet.
Like fragments of light
Fracturing upon your hair
Lines of color, hue and depth
Reflect unborn words.
Still life portraits of our days
Hang in solemn places
Secluded and unjustly set,
Ashes mingled with acrylic.
Textured phrases pass our lips
Brushing crimson on pale faces
Alive with shades of warmth
Gently across a perfect canvas.
Traces of your heart stain your hands
Shadows of your creations
Dotted like constellations unseen,
Otherworldly beautiful chaos.
