Geometry

Superstitious ~ fidostudio~ Pinterest


In your eyes
sinus chasing cosinus
a serpentine way
pulls me in
to explore,
but I cling for
brows’  slurs
not sure, indecisive…
flickering allure;

 the safest place-
in the center-
face it,
created with
a basic purpose-                                       
to breath. Beneath-
two watermelon halves,
seedless, ripe
while  you share a smile,
the sweetness –
so lovely oval-
be framed,
not tamed
or exiled.

  1. The image in words is far more inventive and now fixed in my head than the image that inspired them.

  2. while the middle is the safest, you also have the furthest distance to touch something else...for me, safe is not always the best.....

  7. When we look at someone we never really see them unless we catch them unawares such as in the painting. They may not be two faced but each of us has a secret character that few see.
