Where is my lover cast of life
with proportions of the same
shades submitted with mix of pain
and the joys of common folk?
those colors set to waking life
nothing more and nothing less
shades of gray tempered throughout
with vibrancy that steals the breath
by embellishment of the details
from the smallest to those more large
each has their place for true romance
with the soul clearly sought
celebrating love through poetry
or a brush put to paint
both exact an honest note
showing nothing beyond myself
knowing life may ask too much
from the requester found within
no denial is asked in response
the full embrace in openness
my lover then made real
in scope of life then revealed
I ask no more than this
the full of life marked with a kiss.

The poem “Lover Cast of Life” was inspired by one of my favorite YouTubers. They asked, on social media, “where is my Pre-Raphealite lover who wants to pain me and write me love poetry?” Investigation of the topic led me to a wonderful opportunity to share what this pondering may present.
