Candidates by Candlelight

 

 

let me escape 

the politics of 

your arms

 

your lips 

the incumbent curve

of your smile

 

all for show

to be reelected

in a moon's electoral college

 

where minds know better

than what hearts study

during all-nighters

[Ken Simm.]

Perfect piece of atmosphere.

Thank you, Ken,

[Soren]

A poem with deep implications of seduction in more than sexual forms. So well spoken in so few words. A wonderful poem.
