Miles Away

genius to many,
every day to him.
a weight on his shoulders,
a presence within.

to all, a house glued together.
to him, a kind of blue
cools darkness into
a sophisticated hue.
torch to his lips
he leaves a trail,
& takes no shit.
a myth, a legend,
a masterpiece.
the presence
of the man
who let reinvention
be raw, real.
cocaine love, caved
with a snap.
a romantic without sentiment.
two vitals apart,
spills his guts
& goes straight for your heart.
