In the Presence of Humanity
The bleakness of my existence
was challenged aggressively when
a being of mortal perfection
turned and stared at me
her eyes consumed my soul
leaving me stunned
in the wake of
her remarkable sensuality
at that moment
everything was different
yet remained the same
her beauty was indomitable
against the nauseating ugliness
life regurgitated
as a matter of habit
while I vacillated
between illusion and disillusion
after realizing I conjured
this amazing being
into my unbalanced reality
attempting to temporarily offset
the pathetic loneliness
of my existence
forcing me to admit
“I need humankind.”
