So Close

Faces apart by a breath;

Closer to life than death. 

Skin in spots and splays;

A Van Gogh that stays. 

Dimples and scrunching a while;

Puzzles piecing a smile.

Veins that swerve paths through;

Outlines of feelings true.

Eyes fragrant blues;

Songs to multitudes. 

Scars of life etched;

Stunning murals sketched.

The closer I get I see;

Soft beauty pervades me. 

A taunt, a tease, a trill;

A lure to fit the bill. 

All day I could stay there;

Never knowing where. 

All your parts come together;

a beauty forever. 

So near and soft to feel;

So detailed and real. 

So close your features blur;

All your parts are beauty sure.
