A Portrait

By The CanarY

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Frame:         lines smooth like overpriced caterers         taking the right things         to the right places         & always dodging just in time         height quite right         a ruler to measure perfection by         if gods should ever find themselves         wanting of such Paint:         liquid smooth in application         like a lion on the serenghetti         heavy forepaws resting on well-deserved alms         logical infusion of colors         a taste of what the masters meant         but could not convey Picture:         abstraction         concussive streams of seamless being         slipping by with scientific ease of reason         seemingly perfectly         youDon't look for very many other "love" poems out of me... these days, I'm about as un-sentimental as an artist can get. This was written for my exgirlfriend before she held the office of ex and was simply my girlfriend. She was not flattered by the poem: not one for pretty talk. But I still like it, if not the subject. Maybe I'll present it to my next girlfriend, who will undoubtedly seem (to me) just as beatiful... any takers?
