INTO THE LIGHT
LIGHT
The light shines on chaos
His path chartered by the stars
Absorbs without seeing,
thinks without feeling
blazened by disdain.
BEAUTY
he toils terrain
pursues Leonardo’s decree
looking through youth
reveals his Artists guise
LUST
Strokes in ink adorn feline form seduces mystery enchants
LOVE
He masquerades them all
eyeglasses to escape
Goldfingers to shine
Silk to seduce
POWER
A maniacal force
wields darkness,
Explosion, denial, loyalty,
This fantasy, scandal
history shall not repeat
he looks
Into the light.
