Picture perfect
I find my desire resting
In drawings -
For they are,
I suppose,
Picture perfect.
Her features just so fantastic
And everything just right.
My desires rest on her
For more than one reason -
For she is to me
A perfect woman -
And also a representation
Of a perfect and simple world -
One of fantasy.
Reality too has its beauty -
But I am weak;
It involves others -
It takes a chance.
For the moment I take what I can
From this world in my mind.
But who do I damage?
