sheen of young love

arqios


Notice of absence from arqios
🕊 🙏🏻🕊️


 

an outside world, ever

closes in; eavesdropping

on young lovers, envious

in every kind of way -

enough to green deserts

save a voyeur’s curse:

 

intimacy being reserved

always to two sets of eyes

peering and diving into

each other’s perfect abyss;

inexperienced intensities,

and fleeting potentialities

        The eyes window to the soul, by looking in there the real person you get to know, enjoyed today's read

            Privacy a word of the past. Whether lovers of others or freedom lovers we are observed, poked and prodded and there is no right to privacy in the constitution. A mere afterthought in the ninth amendment now felt outdated and up for interpretation. Who you slept with, what positions were used, how you spent your money, how you voted, and the color of your stool all public knowledge.

              And that grates so bad, quite not the cheesy kind either. Thanks kindly 🙏🏻🕊

                Thanks David. We see not many that are gentle or respectful 🙏🏻🕊

                Most voyeurs can’t bare the thought of being watched or even worse, observed but I know for a fact you make a very good point here and I’m glad I felt compelled to swing by .. Neville

                  This Smiths’ song is a perfect pairing with your fresh harvest of a poem…
