The Muse
Iridescence, voluptuous, careen 3 words challenge
She lies on the chaise aware of his eyes
Voluptuous yet feeling conspicuous
Her nudity almost complete
A vague smile says she’s awaiting censure
He is watching yet probing gaze
Making her feel beautiful yet she knows
This painting will come to an end.
He concentrates trying to capture her eyes
They radiate iridescence blue, green, grey
And still he sees her beauty stills him
She’s unaware, self conscious, pinkened
His scrutiny almost clinical
As he feels he’s likely to careen towards her
Telling her she sparkles with beauty.
She is his muse. He wants her to stay.
