-John Ruskin

I am painting your portrait Using the softest of blues And highlighting you features With the gentlest of hues With care as I paint them I make your eyes a rich green With a pale green circle about them That makes them sparkle and gleam I add pinks and milky whites To paint your skin soft and true To keep this portrait perfect And gorgeous just like you I'll hang this masterpiece In the place of priceless art In the hallowed place of beauty Tucked deep in my heart.
Written for a love, dedicated to a friend.
