Analysis of Gustav, a brother.
A smile like charcoal,
Spreads across my mind,
Marking a sandstone thought,
A brother of mine.
Bead wrapped wrists,
Thin frames rising from the ocean,
Truly a good and noble soul,
Deaf to the crashes of the ocean.
An embrace projects to me,
Tiny expansions to a smile,
Unveiled, blinding admiration,
Don’t you dare leave.
A Swede of style and charisma,
The sun twists from your glare,
Hours crystallize and glisten,
Your whiskers make a jolly moment.
