beauty truth love
all but imperceptible
with eyes closed
ears plugged
heart tied up in knots
that’s why when Anne walks into the room
smiles at me with sheepish grin
eternal eyes crinkling cute
I focus on her glow her laughter her kiss
I am greedy wanting to take in her essence
my hand reaching out to touch her face
a blissful sigh escapes me
listening to her voice her words her song
I receive her as I give in
to love truth beauty
