The Look Of a Faithful Man

His lighthouse eyes

warn of the rocks

his base beneath.



He resembles an oil

painting of light and

shadow with his

ravens wing jet black

hair and dark piercing eyes..

foiled by pale skin,

his craggy cheek bones

which cause shade

in the light.



As he sits,

his hands rest gently

on his body..

fingers which evoke

beauty in the guitar

.. hands which

can defend with

lightning speed.



His voice is gentle..

the 'sound of many

waters'.



His eyes stream with

compassion for all.



(to Marcus.. who used the

word raven's wing hair)

All your works have a common strand running through them and that is the picture they draw in the readers' minds. This was another of your works I enjoyed. Well done.
