#posing
Did you know when you posed for that photo
That it would represent my sincerest dreams?
Did you know, posing, letting yourself go
That you would represent all of love's themes?
There's a picture I can't look away from
With simplicity of your innocence.
There's a picture of what love can become
With simplicity, strength and elegance.
Your lines and curves and perfection of shape
Transport my soul and take hold of my gaze.
Your lines of your chest o'er shoulder and nape
Transport my soul to see beauty and praise.
You are the picture I paint in my head
Of beauty that only exists in thought.
You are the picture I dream of in bed.
Of beauty that I have forever thought.

Within this lonely now
Under blankets of night
Sunlit absence departs on beams of light
In the middle of this nowhere
The soul slips away in every direction
Riding a quietly tragic wave; a cosmic infection
Once a roar
Now a sigh
This love once burned like stars that never die
And now that ten thousand years can't save this life
We find ourselves together alone
Destiny shipwrecked us before we were even born
You were a secret hiding in the open
Must have turned a blind eye
Found a supernova posing as a clear blue sky

take me back
to the renaissance period
body painted
in black and blue
but just because
i was the mona lisa
doesn't mean
i was posing for you

Well, my old diary
has almost had its day
I read it over once more
for beautiful sentences
too beautiful to be lost
I copy them and weave them
together with imagination
with equally beautiful sentences
My experiences seamlessly
fit together with possible events
that I now, years later, imagine
and would have liked to lived
just as Stendhal reworked his
dull notes into a stammering account
of a heavenly experience, dizzy
from looking up at the vaulted ceiling
where the painting, on the contrary
is anchored immutably in the then
still wet lime, entirely real, firsthand
Grandeur, not only in hindsight
