Pictures for an exhibition
Rendered; grounds for inhibition
You posed on the velvet couch
You rose way beyond your stature
Angels and seraphims
Volcanoes and sips of gin
The brush stroke, the mind’s eye
Touch to torture, touch close to sky
Velvet drapes and plumed-up capes
Forage, rummage
Eyeliner, lipstick emboss
He caught the colour of your cherubs
He caught a flash of thunderous youth
You felt the flush of courage
You smiled and asked him why
The answer fair perplexed you
Almost made you cry
The answer fair perplexed you
Just once he looked into your eye
Just once more, he said
Just once before I die
