Carve your face in my mind,
Etch each line, each curve,
Each subtle shine,
I'll preserve this image,
Keep it safe and sound,
I bury the red heat，
My heart has found；
——
I don't need your words,
Your lips to part,
I only ask that you see me,
See my heart，
Let my shadow cross your path,
Dance in your sight,
May it ignite a spark,
A glimmer of light；
——
This heat, this fire,
Burns deep within,
Consuming my thoughts,
My very being，
I long for your eyes to meet mine,
Even in passing,
To feel that connection,
That moment everlasting;
——
I'll carve your face,
Commit it to memory,
A portrait of perfection,
A work of artistry,
When darkness falls,
I'm alone once more,
I'll gaze upon this image,
My heart it will restore;
——
Perhaps one day,
Our shadows will intertwine,
In that moment,
Our souls will align,
Until then,
I'll keep this image close to my heart,
Waiting, hoping,
For the day we'll never part.

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

This was absolutely lovely. Such a wonderful poem!
Fabulous descriptions- souls intertwine, keeping the image. Nice job!💕
Happy to be the 1st commenter on this. While I was on your poem's first couple of lines, I remembered a poem I have written on Vocal. I think your one is more advanced than mine. Well done!
