Caroline Cécile Delacroix Poet Quatrain

Etched

Etched upon my mind
A masterpiece has begun
A first draft of a portrait
Upon its wall has sprung.

Features chiseled so fine
By the masterful hands
Of an unseen artist's sight
Into a world only he comprehends.

Made aware to my puzzled eyes
Unable to see nothing else, 
For it all disappeared, as if buried alive
And a new vision has printed itself.

As he continues his work
Not able to stop until finished
Its life has crept into my world
My heart, by its warmth, ravished.

Caroline Cécile Delacroix May 24, 2010 at 7:51 AM This poem is actually not about art. Art or masterpiece is a metaphor here for a face becoming present in my mind. :) Thanks for reading everyone.

Andrea Dietrich April 23, 2010 at 8:39 PM I guess I was confusing the end with the beginning. At first I thought it was your imagination and at the end I thought it was actually an artist because you said "he". Sorry I can't always get poems! It's still a cool poem to read and try to envision. Luv, andrea

Andrea Dietrich April 22, 2010 at 1:37 PM very nice relating it to your own life, Caroline! An artist's work! Luv, andrea
