wandering the rooms of the art gallery was bliss and soon, I found myself in the rooms of Gothic and Renaissance I could just fall into the frames and become part of the paintings the beauty is tragic and beautiful, the colors sublime his eyes follow me and whisper- come my beauty a painting of a man, I stand staring at it his dark eyes are fathomless pools- I am drawn to him I could l o v e this man within a frame, old I want to stroke his long, soft raven hair kiss his full lips and hands- breath life into his body . . . then he reaches out for me . . . all I have to do is take his hand within a gilded frame at the art gallery, a handsome raven haired man kisses the ruby lips of a beautiful woman, who is weeping many pass, remarking on how beautiful and in love the couple are . . . ____________________________ April 26, 2016 Poetry/Free Verse/Within A Gilded Frame Copyright Protected, ID 16- 782-911-0 All Rights Reserved.

The way you perceive all of these things is a sign of your wonderful sense of what is. Simply charming. With all that has happened, may your days be filled with happiness. The past shapes us and will never be forgotten, but you have such a grand heart and are so skilled with words. I am in awe of your talent.
