Justin's Wall
by
Nathanael Smith

Your face I see again
Onetime well-met in paradise
Smile, your wish is my command
  Frown and the world frowns with you
You are somehow a superstar
Blocking my vision like a drive-by blindspot
  Are you completely, totally heartless
  Or is it all a sham for blind eyes
Look at the perfume peach sunset
  Echo of your eyes, deep as depth
  A million flying gemstones your lips
  Sweetness supreme, dew on the night grass
A living heart, amid a world of tombstones
  Your smile a glimpse of light at blackness
  Eyes an oasis in this other worldly desert
    So where does this forever lead to
Heart a white dove flying graceful
  In a world of black marble and dead iron
    Or a rose, white and perfect and illimited
    Illuminate the source of this overflow death
Your face I see again, shine again
  The Angel in it's own paradise again
    The epitome of perfect, of sweet
      Heart of gold in a heartless world
