Missing Pieces

missing sides to my portrait lady

  blessings in time turn under a 
  spyglass bewilderment

absent the clues round your 
seamless skin. 
and the light seems to reflect 
unbroken along the borders
 of your garments grace. 

 my darkened lady with flowers 
of chalk draws in the night a
 purple hewed silhoete to carry
 her hearts desire.

 quick as fiber optic resin in a fable

 and i am as a moth drawn to your
 flickering candlelit eyelids.

  how can i make these hands
 form.. fit....flaunt and flicker 
into your frameless innocence.

 how can these words consume 
all placid enigmas.

 teach me how to nurture this faith
 between the missing corners  
 and are abstact angels will 
 be whole again.
