Photograph of You

How can one be in love with an image? Although sultriness oozes from within it is only a glossy photograph. Yet it is the moment frozen in time a moment of magic captured forth with that intrigues this imaginary mind, yet no matter what the mind calculates the image is one of sheer loveliness! © Harry J Horsman 2012

Harry, this is definitely a Micheal-angeloian or Leonardo-davincian image... What image could it be that hold your imagination to ransome? Great piece... Love... Angel

The photograph from this poem must be one of someone very special. A captured memory frozen in time.
