Picture Of Untarnished Charisma


The sparkle of indigo lagoon, 
portrayed in the entranced ebullient eyes,
the lustrous lotus petals of luscious lips, 
blooming on the fervent face, 
carved once with narcissistic contours of pride,
ingrained the subdued Dorian Gray syndrome. 

The winter spider of twilight has weaved 
webs with facial furrows of faded charm,
the lips of pale flower have lost  
the patina of passion, enticing once.
The smoky eyes now gaze forlorn 
from the wall of the empty parlor. 

The picture with the instilled aura of stilled time
doesn’t encase the anguish of loss,
for it epitomizes the notion, 
what is a face if not a metaphor 
for the panorama of proclivity, 
the enduring snapshot of mesmeric moment,
captured within the timeless elegant frame 
of untarnished concealed charisma.
