~ Painting Mona Lisa ~

Absolutely enchanting I thought ~ As I drew the curtains wider, to allow in a bit more light.... Returning unto the canvas and dipping my brush Into a slightly brighter shade of beige Thinking perhaps just a touch more violet, a dab of red, and, a stroke of amber Until, I heard the door bell ring, breaking, this mesmerized trance.... Sitting my palette down, and lying my brush aside, atop a colored cloth I turned to see who it was, that was there? "Hold on dear, I shall be right back," I whispered As she smiled amid a radiance, that stopped me within my steps How rarely seldom does one get a chance like this I thought? If it is truly important and I know them Then they shall kindly call, or possibly even leave myself a note Besides, what an unpleasant reflection it would be, to even but for an instant Interrupt this dream.... For no greater beauty have I ever beheld, nor have I ever found, then this Perfection within everyway I believe, is whom she is ~ "What's wrong," she asked, "are you not going to see who it is?" Glistening eyes, as I fixated upon her own, mirrors, of an endless hue "No, not right now dear," as I then, poured her a drink Smiling as she gracefully arose, proposing a toast I said "To this moment, this day, to you and I, this time, and, amore".... As I slowly reached forth my hand, to tenderly caress her rosen cheek And to glide my fingers gently, through her shining auburn hair "Here dear," leading her loveliness softly, "here, sit right there That the sunlight may embrace your boundless beauty This magnificence of your splendor, these wonders, from whom you truly are" ~ Glowingly she smiled once more, as with a passion, I then kissed her perfect lips "I love you," she uttered While as the mornings dew lit rays, reflected upon her enchantedness As a glittering arose about my own heart, and a warming, within my now raptured soul "So do I my love, I love you more," I returned Retrieving my brush, my palette and my cloth Exchanging glances amid knowing thoughts, these souls, so intertwined ~ "Excellent, do not move dear" As always was captured forever, within, this moment right here.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Painting, Mona Lisa ~
