Pastel Portrait

Mad,like a lover found alone,
self absorbed,
the artist paints 
the
sensitive shadow.

  Artistic flesh,
vulnerable,
between her kind laugh,
and his 
pastel desire.

commitment 
in the air,
and yet,
his easel is married
to complicity,

Composed...........
she drapes herself
in  royal shades
 of
delicious
rejection.
