Paint Me If You Should

Paint me if you absolutely should;
frame me forever in the mahogany wood.

Trail the sharp angle of my nose,
the curve of my cheeks as my smile grows.

Trace my lips as they flutter
when the cold breeze hits my shoulder.

But I wont bare my eyes to all–
because they are the window to my soul.
