My Portent and Portrait

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

Paint me a portrait

            Of your quiet smile,

            Your gentle eyes,

  Your subtle mystery

My sighs cannot paint me that

            Nor my thoughts of you

            Nor my tossing and turning

            Nor the whispers of my heart

Capture for me

            The silent words

  The fleeting affection

  The kindness

You are glorious

A memoir to reminisce

A passing portent

A timeless portrait
