ever there, but never taken

not blind, but not looked

"face study" ⸘jason alan‽ colored pencil on paper 2025

timeless and reaching

a look in the mirror

with vision for the future

led to the heart of it

radioactive with passion

advantage of local's insight

natural and habituated

increased to a surplus

quality with interest

visible and infamous

come for the drama

stuck by a need for it

we brunch on fame

feasting like a champions

nourishing performance

penetrative intentions

the real self-affection

a different kind of gift

ever there, but never taken

not blind, but not looked

see the bigness between

how it all connects us

arrive to a clever prospect

endowed magical prowess

alive, natural, intelligent

this mystical Olympian

glow as enlightened lives

personal, purposeful, aligned

redefined and familiar

sweet like a golden rose

desired and sophisticated

to be known by so many

but understood by so few
