Luminosity

This is Just a glimpse Of your Luminosity. Ocean eyes Pixie nose Cinnamon freckles Giraffe neck You stretch up, up Until you can reach The highest leaves Of the tallest trees Chewing with your Perfect, dentist-approved teeth. When you smile Little dimples like Craters on the moon Pop up on your face Pop, pop, pop Trenches around Your thin, pink lips Bright against your Ashen skin Which burns so easily In the sun’s golden rays And peels like the bark of A eucalyptus tree. You were once A scrawny boy One I could over-power With my height But now we are equals And soon you will Pass me by Until your head is Surrounded by clouds And you take gulps Of mist like Delicious cream puffs. Your eyebrows are thick Knitted in deep thought Or arched in surprise You look like grandfather And just like him When you are angry You clear a path Because you have A roar as Frightening as a lion’s But when you are calm You are regal like one too When you walk Out on the plane Amongst the other lions No one has to ask Who you are You are the king.
