Let me take your portrait...
Let me paint your picture,
With the lens of my camera.
Let me stop time,
Even if only for a moment,
Capturing your beauty with my shutter.
Let me see your soul
Through this view finder of mine.
Let me caress your body with my eyes.
Let me see you...
The real you;
Not the image you project.
You...
vulnerable
naked
unmasked,
Show me who you are.
Let me take your portrait.

Poetry: Portrait in words
She moves closer
pitching her jellied legs forward
one after the other
like she's lost all the bones in them.
She
by Tom Mcmurray
Entice the essence of the word
A lexicon of value heard
A luxury of words astute
With salutation and salute
Inside this
Streaks of the Wind
Graceful maiden
in a dress, woven
by a pair of wild hands
untameable
like the reflection of her eyes
when
Words are resplendent, a rainbow of sound
Providing us comfort or answers profound
They enter our minds and go straight to
There she goes that crazy daisy
Skipping amidst the summer hazy
A hammock swings betwixt the willows
All the flowers
