A picture of her in my mind is screaming out to me again and again. Jade, I'm there for you. - 26th April 2006


A delineation of lust.

Quill flicked to her outline

Of a desirable black fantasy,

Smudged by the hand of loving,

But still she looks unmarked

Like a cream summer breeze.

 

Rendered with green shadow

To emboss her brilliance,

A contrast fallen to blind,

As she deliriously blinks and

Tearfully looks behind.

 

Webbed splashes of ink

Partner my tears.

 

As she is backtracking my fingertips

I promise to stand by her

Through all her fears.

John, I am amazed by your maturity in thought and expression and your ability to transfer them to paper so well. I think you are an "old soul" in a young man's body. I love your imagery. you are a great painter of words. : ) kathy
