Painter's Canvass
On a canvass, he paints
A beauty with no name
His palette shades of blacks
Blues and grays he add as hues
A brush he inclines and curves
His thumb kneed and nudge
With each and every stroke
Edge to edge
from angle to angles
A picture of beauty on caught
Near an open window
Where the subject lays gracefully
Her long black hair sprawled
On the red satiny clothe
Her chin up a little
Her lips a shade of rosy red
Her cheeks flushed with warmth
Soft tendrils of hair cascades with the wind
Her one hand clutches
Her other hand lies relax sideways
Her legs set on lax as her body does
Her face of tranquility
With eyes a look of intrigue
With beams of scattered sunlight
Creating arts of shadows
Darker, lighter that highlights
Keys of piano on the background
Audible enough to hear
The painter focus much
To the subject steadily hush
Two hours past the clock
When he ends and do his final touch
