the curve of common beauty
how it catches the eye
creates
a reflection
captures
yet sets you free
convinces it's all within grasp
set apart
from everything
causes me to stand and stare
almost
at
myself
I evaporate
as I'm contained -
inexplicably
the next person
remains unaware
for me you add highlights
to the mundane
focus and demand my attention
my chin up and eyes wide
you grab me and take hold
you
like a caught echo
whilst I
fill a page
yet can't remember
mystified
in the knowing
clouded
in the walking away
when I look again
the details are smudged
all hidden
behind sadness
elevate ordinary
take me with it
draw me in once more
confuse me into accepting
there's more
beyond
the
grey
