lemon smile
you bear a
disposition
of ignorance
of beauty

your vibrant arms
enclose me
an embrace of
warmth
melting the frost
layered upon
me in
a cold world

without you
vivid
ablaze with
perfection
what would this world be?

frozen, numbed
no sun to thaw
the envy
the bitterness
the betrayal
the imperfection
of humanity
