Your Photogragh, Your Picture
Using the superlative of cameras, the one that sits atop
With backdrop of a sunset, a sunrise or a majestic waterfall
Dressed and done up so radiant, proof of God is what you are
Unfamiliar, never shuttered in the annals of photography
Profuse beauty attained is in
your photograph
However shear the disbelief, amazingly there is contention
It is my depiction of you. Assisted only by canvas, brushes,
paints, a stool, a stand, the whole of me and the grace of God
Your presence is not necessary
For in my mind your image dwells, unlike the aforementioned
thus begins the transferring, by way of my mind, my eyes,
my hands, to my brushes, my colors then blesses the canvas
All of which seem ordained
Culminating with the you I see, behind no lens, behind my eyes
proving the immaculate photograph only hints on your beauty
Exquisite elegance ever immense is
your picture
