Just because
he resembles that of
a black serpentine carving
found in an art museum—
hardest of it’s kind,
doesn’t mean that
he need be feared
in the other troubled mind.

He’s not cold blooded—
a crook or a thief,
lazy and incompetent
pathetic beyond belief—
no—
it’s that hard to shake
stereotype
that’s what it is.

Just because
his hair is that of wool
skillfully woven
to a z i g – z a g design
symbolizing
the winding course
of the stony road…
doesn’t make him
less worthy of the title
CEO.

His smile…
warm as the afternoon sun.
His teeth…
shine a porcelain white.
His eyes…
sparkle among a trillion stars in the sky.

I vow
sincerity is imbedded in his heart,
planted since birth
from the start.

I give to you
my every worldly possession—
body and flesh
in exchange for
your blinded eye.

If you agree
say yes to thee,

and without further ado
I’ll give unto you
...........................................my son.

Very nice.


I liked the poem, too.

Jesus! I can't even read the poem. I can't take my eyes off that beautiful face.

A beautiful piece of poetry-in words and in image!
