Wide Open Shutter

A fiery red dress infused in yellow sunflowers
green meadows vibrant in a rainbow glamour
smiling eyes shine a lattice of unseen colors
in thousand snapshots of paparazzi clamour 

enraptured in your spotlight of  radiant flame
zooming in and out  my eyes close and blink 
in your fireplace my heart, a wild child in tame
wistfully unfocused, I rise and float, then sink

your photogenic frame, in a wide open shutter
love races in speed, it's an exposure mismatch
"photography not allowed", flashes in a flutter
picture saved in darkroom of my cactus patch.
