As I See You
In my mind I have a view,
timeless, ageless, all of you,
unrealistically true
the nature of this image,
timeless, yes, but not as in
some arctic cage,
lifeless, cold, and carved of stone, no!
but a warm, a living visage
not an impression solitary
but a collage, a gallery
each piece bringing now so
vivid a portrait only my eyes see,
the future tense of memory,
imagination filtered through reality.
