Photograph of You

How can one be in love with an image? Although sultriness oozes from within it is only a glossy photograph. Yet it is the moment frozen in time a moment of magic captured forth with that intrigues this imaginary mind, yet no matter what the mind calculates the image is one of sheer loveliness! © Harry J Horsman 2012

Very lovely write that makes me think she is one very beautiful lady :) --- also I want to thank you Harry, for always dropping by my poems even if I am not active here-- seeing your name puts a smile on my face, thank you for all your support- it is a privilege for me that you read my poems, and for the one that you faved, thank you!

Harry, this is definitely a Micheal-angeloian or Leonardo-davincian image... What image could it be that hold your imagination to ransome? Great piece... Love... Angel

The photograph from this poem must be one of someone very special. A captured memory frozen in time.
