Chiseled face
Carved of stone
Weathered not by rain, wind nor storm,
No whirlwind emotion averts that
Iceberg gaze;
A man's worst nightmare
Stone cold
Yet
Life's warm kiss
Surges through
Flawless granite veins,
A sculptors pride and joy!
Can you hear it?
Thud thud thud
Boulder crashing against
Cave
Closer...
Sharp edges on soft flesh
Cold and hard
Yet soft
Warm..
A magicians final trick.
Face and bodice
Stolen from gods
Face of Apollo
Body of Zeus
knowledge of Athena
Exuding power, oozing authority;
A woman's perfect dream.
You must hear it,
Carried by red ocean waves
Back and forth
Forth, back
Thudd Thudd Thudd
Closer and closer...
A magicians final trick
A sculptors pride and joy
A man's worst nightmare
A woman's perfect dream
But...
You hear it too
Skin on stone
Thuddthuddthudd
Hummingbirds heart beats
The unsteady thrum of
A statue in love
