donut

starless black
with sky blue
interior
coffee shop comfort
toasted coconut
and the most
delicate hand
cupping his face
midnight certainty
prevails as each
fingertip
is kissed
with magical smiles
only a queen can see
look at me
slips past lips
past desiccated tears
some moments
are so beautiful
they defy capture
silent now
she lifts his chin
sometimes
there are no
words
no colors
on the palate
his eyes obey
and take the
picture
clearly exposed
defenseless
at her mercy
alone
