only a few can see
appreciation of its beauty
unseen to most
to where it hides
its truth without a cost.

A bag of stickers
I've started sticking them
The back of the phone
A middle of a fan
The side of my computer
The back of my laptop
Why not?

Would I need to save them for a more special occasion?
Or use them on something of higher value?
All tossed away after death
I've started sticking them

Amidst the crowd,
I try to see.
Him unknown,
a mystery to me.

Gaze met once,
a fleeting chance.
I told myself,
no mutual glance.

I need no light to know
that you are smiling.
Your hands in mine,
together in the dark.

I need no light to see
the beauty in your face,
it's locked forever in
the memory of my heart.

I need no light to guide my touch,
nor taste, nor smell,
no light to guide me within
all the treasures that are you.

I need no light.

It is merely icing on the cake,
as we make love
through the night,
into the sun break.
