Poetry: Portrait in words

Organic pigment...

Barely dawn
curtains already drawn
Shadow pushes colour forward
lazy semi-tones of flesh
on cold slate, roughly sketched
disorganized, smears of coffee fresh
cream, blushing rose accents raise
coaxed from beneath sparingly applied
sheer olive glaze

Burnt umber hatched over
toast, melted butter
strawberry ripened curves
delicate strokes, sienna tinted
Rich auburn, unbrushed
flecks of grey, hinted

Sun rising
dappled gold ochre
more coffee, appetizing
carmine smeared, flashes of aquamarine
soft tones, subtle sheen
more depth, shadows retreat
light touches skin
rendition complete
