A Painted Gaze

A Painted Gaze Sitting alone in soft and easy chair rustic gaze in artistic, painted scene. Yet, gentle beauty leaps from face and hair colors speaking, so softly blue and green. Were you happiest in your painted gaze with gentle look of a young girl so free. Wrapped by beauty in a colored haze your future promise holding loving key. Sitting there in your soft and easy chair rustic look in brilliantly painted scene. Graceful beauty leaping from face and hair colors speaking softly in blue and green. Sitting alone, in a soft, striking pose. All thats missing is a crimson red rose! Robert J. Lindley, 1-08-2016 Painting number two Poem number two.
