“An Unrequited Vision by Stewart Stafford
Though the sheen of infatuation,
Deflects the glare of humanity,
I must bathe naked in my flaws
To peel your blinding cataracts.
This intrusion is not a sweet union,
'Tis a hand plucking a stringless harp,
A looking glass without reflection,
A mirage of the shimmering sun.
Affection's look clouds with malice,
Eyes flit to the blade to save face,
Stay that rash hand of vengeance,
Allow a beauteous refill of your gaze.
