Colors of After

Colors of After

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

Colors of After

 

 

placid pose

a sort of smile

cheeks blushed with thoughts 

of a lover

yesterday's encounter

today's reconnoiter 

 

she sips her coffee

turns a little bit more to the right

the artist brushes her onto his canvass

 

was he the one?

Not the one; sadly not the hun.
This says much in the few. I hope at least he kept the painting; might be worth something of value.
Excellent brevity.

Being an Artist of the "After Glow" ... cheeks blushed with thoughts of yesterday's encounter... reminds me of the Movie "Love in the Afternoon" with Gary Cooper and Audrey Hepburn... a Classic Romance. gently, Pat

Thank you,

I like how you present the poem as an open-ended story. The allegories sewn into this are also intriguing, with the short yet detailed description of the persons & events. Maybe he was the one. That's what I like to think, anyway. ;)

Was he the one?

The colours of after are looking pretty rosy J. I can picture a scenario of two here brought together again.

the artist brushes her onto his canvass - what a perfect line that is. Beautiful brevity.
