poetry by j matthew waters

your poem


I burned your image
in my mind
like charcoal lead
on cottony white paper

I painted your eyes
on canvas
like I had known them
my entire life

I drew your heart
closer to mine
beating rhythmically
as if we were one

    Matthew, you have outdone yourself! It really is beautiful. It seems directed at the listener, which is its forte. So can I share it with friends?

    Look forward to more.
