portrait

it started with a blink of an eye
following a real quick glance near-by
gradually obscuring the sense of sight
getting hit by every single ray of light

looking at the portrait denotes admiration
the stroke made by the brush can be an inspiration
the complexity of the design leaves an impression
the pencil marks and light lines show its hidden expression

it can be told how each piece was painstakingly put together
the details, elements and parts with smudges that don’t even matter
no wonder why everyone wants to spare a dough for such masterpiece
it’s a good thing the painting is either for sale or for lease

the choice of colors is such a delight to the sleepy eye
waking up the lonely soul causing the spirit to go sigh
it’s distribution to every part that needs to be filled up
is like an overwhelming emotion that creates a strong bop

a perfect frame would definitely add class
to a simple, chic and fragile canvass
square, oblong, diamond any shape of edge would do
as long as it would complement the artwork and not say boo

hanging the photograph on a wall maximizes the entire space
providing an exact spot for that object disregards the confusing maze
but will it still look pleasing if the painting’s mood mismatch the pillar
even if it gets refurbished it would insist, react and just be placed in the cellar
