PORTRAIT.

Like a portrait unique in style and effect,

Looking at it taking hold; becomes personal with every gaze that is 

set,

Bringing a flavour to emotions a multicoloured palate of intricate 

shades,

The portrait draws one into its world and blends its colours into the 

psyche as the image pervades,

Through form that is recognized as a beautiful face,

Illumined from the inside, shining without painted intrusion of the 

outer world's pace. 

I'm back in an instant, to the bustle and smoke of everyday,

As your face, smiling... gently fades away,

Until I see you back home, after work, at the end of  today.
