Neville

Looking Just to See

Looking Just to See

 

It was while he was looking

Just to see

He smiled the easy smile

He would later

Become known for

You know the one

That made his eyes burn bluer

Than the bluest of blues

 

For the briefest of moments

He saw them both savored

And wasted

Infinitely etched and indelibly

Traced without so much as a hint

Of definition like the finest of fine

Cobwebs and each

One of them was smiling

 

It was there draped

Much like silk

Upon his opaque lenses

Such fraught filigrees now clouding

Those fondest of memories complete

Though now much truer than

The very truest true

Yes twas then a cry was sounded

 

Yes he had a voice indeed

And through it whispered

Let it be recorded now

In ciphers codes and alphabets

In Roman

Rune and ancient hieroglyph

Let us ne’er forget dear friends

To call such moments poetry
