Dorian's portrait

The Portrait of Dorian Gray; one of my favorite novels by the great Oscar Wilde!

-Dorian's portrait-

There's a portrait I keep hidden
-There time has not forgiven
Or forgotten me.
A young, albiet clever man is all I wished to be.
But I've grown tired; run out of rythms and beats,
I know I shouldn't stare,but maybe just a peek.
-Oh what horror!
I scream as I lose all color
- Death takes hold
And I grow old, lifeless and cold
instantly.
But you know what's so deviously wrong?
Because of said portrait I shall be forever young.

A sad but profound piece. Even though I'm still young I still feel the gravity of this piece. Though I haven't read The Picture of Dorian Gray, I have read the Importance of Being Earnest and can say Wilde was a genius of his time. An often overlooked genius. Well written.

I've never read the book but I do like Oscar Wilde. The man was a genius of the flip remark.
