Idol in my Eye

Idol in my Eye


Held at arms reach
come to grasp
and further than stretch


It's otherworldly
and misted and shroud
with beauty and technical pose


I want to attain
and touch and be form
and as long as I see it clearly
the more it eludes


So blur my eyes
and take hold of limb
and of stance and bow


I am spinning
vision distanced
and where am I?


Hands held at a distance
not mine
but theirs

Resolute

Resolute


In this bed I'm resolved to stay
blankets covered
and your warm bare body beside me
half hidden in sheets
and half blinded by sun.


Bright skin and light eyes
dancing flecks on chick coloured hair
and pausing smirk lighting demons
and devils on fire.


Why food
and how shelter
if I'm in arms so warm?


I'm resolute to stay
even if just another day
before the world winds its way in
and we part for just a few.


Oh bed of twine grasping
and sleep bliss holding me down
how you've become physical
and material
in a shape of man.
