The Lover

Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem

A sword can never wound itself, but hair

As beautiful as yours can wield a wound

To you.  It leaves you vulnerable.  A snare

Each time you see them, curls make you attuned

To resonating beauty deep inside

The meaning of your body and your face.

The curls and black lick lightly at your pride

Where arrogance impels in inner space.

An eye can never see itself.  If blue

It cannot look inside its beauty gemmed

With bevels carved inside God’s hardest hue.

Defying Christ it will not be condemned.

  The women with this truest color eye

    Will torture.  Love will always be awry.
