Template To Save the Soul a Collaboration With Ivory Jones

Caught off guard in templates of color
 that feeling I have frozen in the flesh 
 is singed by the siege of beauty served

Burnt oranges,reds,and colors of ash
Lusciousness and fleshy desires
Is it just a depiction my eyes have envisioned

Created and demonstrated to cut the frame 
edging the sight to save the soul that saw 
poison in the passion of painted pictures

Our juices produced the perfect antidote 
Which laid the blueprint for the impeccable frame
Together our bodies permeated the template 

A border to beset the beast buried 
under the blunder of censored skills
with the site to see free in cyanide

Boarders now imperturbable 
Representation remains unblembished
Unwanted deciphering becomes unresponsive

Freddie Robinson Jr. January 23, 2018 at 6:07 AM This is hip, avant-garde love poetry, James and Ivory. A passionate mix of existentialism and surrealism. Two talented sous w/mad prop poetic skillz. Love and peace always.
