Jon Lloyd - Shallow Beauty

It's unlikely but true -
Your physical attraction
Entertains me
On so many levels.

Your voice as smooth as slate
But subtle - soft and subtle -
And untarnished by locality
Draws my soul.

You utter practical nothings
Statistical representations
Cardboard cut-out numbers
Meaningless drivel;

I want to hear you speak
Of more important things -
Of life and loves and instincts
But am denied.
