Beauty Illuminate

Absorbed, every morn' I cleanse my Eyes in your Pre-Raphaelite beauty, Your fragile lily white skin exposed, Elongated lines, curved forms smile, Aloft you hold the unlit gilded torch, Unkissed, velvet chocolate lips pout, Adorned in the corners, sunlit room , A sad beauty transfixed , for all time. The perfection of joy without breath And yet without breath I see no joy. The day beckons the impending night. As you illuminate the darkened room .

Dear Daniel, Thi one moved me. Your portrayal of beauty as both ethereal and melancholic is captivating. Each line is delicately woven with imagery, invoking emotions that linger long after reading. This is an exquisite piece that illuminates the complexities of beauty and life. Very artistic! - Blessings, Daniel

A portrait of his dead wife? A beauty without breath? If so, it adds to the depth of what began as a tribute to a wife or lover. Exquisite in any case
