You shall be in high definition, I suspect,
your beauty a Tibetan crystal,
clear and serene,
and only a thousand chanting monks
will have the saffron power
to make your third eye resonate.
Still, I hope you shall forgive me, love,
for what I, a farmer in some forgotten field, must do.
When the sun finds facets on your angled face,
I shall kiss the pixels of your eyes and cheeks
before stepping back in time
to a checkered shirt and denim jeans,
my proper time and place.

I did see those monks in saffron high def when reading this. Beautiful, and yet, the media still can't capture the truth of the thing. It just can't transfer the reality, only a shiny hint.
"I shall kiss the pixels of your eyes and cheeks"
I like it :)
Billy, this is beautiful. Such lovely images and words. It is very creative and reads so well.

Billy what a timely piece - and perfect picture to compliment the poem. Love the theme and gist of this. I know, if given the chance, I would step back, too. Love how each word is needed here. Just a classy piece of writing!
WOW -

K., I think I'm becoming a Luddite the more technology I have to use. I need a time machine :)
Geeze, this is a lovely piece.
