Prince

SerenWise

Your countenance may well

Be a solid brick wall,

But behind it there's a garden,

Secret gathering lust;

Low boughs of rhodedendron

And night blooming jasmine 

In the shimmering dusk.

 

Those eyes keep melancholy

Thoughts, cool and deep

Like a bottomless fae pool

Keeps myriad koi fish,

Silver scales a-glimmer.

 

The twisting elegance of

Your spine, makes me shiver

But the rarity of that smile 

With softest of dimples 

Makes me quiver -

A feeling I know

I could live in forever.
