as young of a man
as a man can possibly come
a man still all the same
to others
yet a boy to some
with eyes as blue
as the very ocean's surface
with so much urgency in them
they can't seem to properly focus
the very idea of possibly missing out
on something
upon each individual
never lets them waver
such perfected passion
in his open young arms
I did indeed
sin to savor
now,
I am
the wicked one!
