radiance

by Jumi

A short poem I wrote about Minako-chan for one of my classes. The catch? I didn't mention her name so no one knows she's a fictional character. And I used all lower-case letters and no punctuation to make it even more pretentious!

Robert Silvers

hair of gold, like the most precious of metals
eyes of blue, like the deepest sea
skin so soft, like the most precious silk
and beautifully pale, like porcelain

i love the way your voice sounds, so soft and so tender
i love the way your breath feels on my skin
and the way the contours of your body
are outlined in the moonlight

your lips, so soft and full
your long hair blows in the wind behind you
with that red bow
and you smile
it's then i know that i'm the luckiest man alive
