beauty

It is interesting, at the least
to look at what i find intriguing
a backlit certain hint of a sepia-ish tone
all the while basking in vivid dark color
this covers the world in which i dream
juxtaposition, sort of....to an explainable extent
a world much like that picture
of my parents, that hangs above the lamp
in the living room, the one that they took for their engagement
it has aged, but the smiles captured haven't
or like the ones we try to duplicate
with photoshop or one of the cameras from "Urban"
I wish for that moment every single day
Just as the sun sets up half way
below the blackened horizon
the time when sun dresses
do exactly what they're made for
to make each girl glow from head down to toe
when straw fedoras and cotton golf hats
are less fashion and more function
they block the sun from people's eyes
so they can smile for those pictures
the ones where even grass blades glow
with a white brownish sort of lining
music plays in the background
no certain sound except the sound
that causes casual relaxed smiling
of comfort and control
yes i sometimes wish the day existed here
in the latest parts of early evenings
of early summer and late spring.
in backlit, sepia-ish evenings
filled with deep dark color
