Simply rambling
about his many reflections
so easy to look at
so easy to hear
an unobtainable essence
just out of our grasp
smiles with wit, candor, honestness
we imagine that he ponders
wise for moments
when that mind of his
the one that never rests
finds abundant reasons
to let others twist
waiting for that signature smile
like it’s a treasured reward
or even his moody frown
his handsomeness unmired
the rarest unpleasant moment
masked by his chiseled jaw
cheeks dark with a light beard
his clever deep blue eyes
most definitely the dimple in his chin
that wayward distracting dimple
I can’t bring myself to talk about his mouth
or the way his tongue… never mind
if only he spoke ignorance
not clever electrifying words
not splendid silliness
or any unchecked brilliance
as perfect as he seems
when nothing about him
will be diminished
as eager as we would be to forgive
any deficiencies yet unperceived
we can not find
one good reason
not to love him blind

The “clever deep blue eyes” are for Nick.
They were really brown in my dream.
Yeah, I’ll leave it at that.
