He smiles, beguiles and occupies

A perfect placid sacred space

Enthrals all those who gaze, admireAnd, fascinated, beg his grace

Bold but blessed with calm resists

Well armoured, turns aside all harm

Directed at his sweet perfection

Bathed in gentle lights to charm

All but one who seizing

Opportunity, devises dark

And cunning deed to snuff the candle

Put an end to vital spark

Ken and Joe, Joe and Andy

Frank and George, and Joe and Trav

Fatal friends, fatal attraction

To a rough Adonis, have

A dark, sad commonality

All hero worship, bit of rough

Frail bond to stretch to breaking point

A point distilled from stronger stuff
