THE MODEL

THE MODEL

My soulful model

deep blue eyes

thick black lashes

gold shade on her lids

psychedelic pink lips

pearl white powder on her spotless face

red hues on her cheeks

streaks of orange

on her lengthy auburn hair

I paint her with deep focus

her lips faintly curled

her divine stillness sinks

slowly into my core

I apply subtle strokes

as she appears to me

calm, yet desirous

my light wash softens the mood

my masterpiece is my lover

with our words do we paint ourselves as we want to see us or as we really are?
we are all poems in progress.

Thanks J. I think we are a work in progress, as art and poetry are too. We are constantly changing, re-arranging, etc. Best, B
