Your Painting

A Picturesque Sonnet

You were more beautiful real than your screen

Every part of me knew it like the Moon

Your painting was another stunning scene

More than enough to compel me to croon

I had painted you inside out and in

Unclothed to a point of alacrity

Your painting could not be construed a sin

No matter my passionate acrity

Alas, beauty tends to fade within too

Even in less time than a pregnancy

Your painting appears to weather my view

As I contemplate our lush Thessaly

My mind is filled with your paintings of yore

With the blues and whites near the open door

-----

Dedicated to a Greek beauty
