Jessica

black hair
on a lady found
through a universe
made up of
images and words

reflections
of the real world
hidden by
self-made mists

and rose-lensed
glasses blinding
the harsh light
one lives by

wondering why
and when a 
change might be
initiated

I don't know
I long for true
artists with a
sense of style

and a strong
sense of humanity
if not morality

whatever that means

one like you
Jessica
a friend and
a fellow artist

with a sense of
caring about people

one who knows
how to lift
someone's spirits
with a smile

switch to dreams
of joy and light
that a lonesome
warrior craves

on his way
to understanding

today I glanced up
seeing a little angel
mixed with steel

that seemed to say
welcome my friend
but watch how you
handle this rose

I bare thorns

if you like I'll
be your friend
and share my
talents and thoughts

but don't go looking
into my private place
where I keep my
treasures safe

until I meet that
perfect one along
the path I walk

ah my lady
we'll walk a ways
down an empty 
corridor

until time
finally seperates
friends from
close contact

Jessica
I respect your
spirit and
your special talent

I'm glad we met
my lady my friend
