The Portrait.

Eyes as blue and deep,
As the ocean itself.
Travelled many nights,
Everywhere its been.

Seen things, of which you've
Only ever dreamed.

Fair skin that was painted
A gentle shade of the whitest snow
And the palest baby pink,
Of roses.

Canvas cared for with each
Strategic brush stroke,
A core memory of the artist's
Favourite childhood moment
Unlocked.

Forever trapped, in
A trance of time.

The reflection of the artist,
Camouflaged against the
Galley wall.

A place, where it is appreciated
By all.
