"Kaleidoscope"

by Max Phineas

I watched you
Watch the world
And wondered what you saw out there
And wondered what you saw in me
To make you stay.

In a breath’s span
You bridged the gap between
The heavens and my soul.
And spanned the distance between
Reality and fantasy.

Your canvas bag of magic
Must have played quite the trick
For you to see me the way you do.

But as for me…

I see you through a kaleidoscope
Fragmented, distorted
Beautiful.

Author's Note: Not one of my favorites from the Portfolio bunch, but I'm not aiming for perfection with all of them. Unfortunately, I don't have that time to afford.

Hi Cole, It's not bad at all. it's good. Kaleidoscope, it does have different shapes and colors. It's a different way of describing the love between you too.

"You bridged the gap between
The heavens and my soul."
Is a beautiful capture, to me, of the physical and spiritual union of two lovers. It beautifully captures all the many fragmented light and dark moments we all experience in this adventure we call love.

I think this is a pretty one as well.
