The Portrait

I will dearly honor, love and cherish you
And I will fulfill you every wish

There is only one desire
There is only one request
On my search for the ultimate painting

Elegance and beauty
Innocence and grace
Everything forever preserved

Shadows and light
Day turns to night
How long it takes
′Till beauty awakes?
Colors will glow
Spirit will grow
Art comes to life
Painted with all the soul

I am still so humble and obedient
Weakening, but I will not complain

I need only one more session
I need only one more day
And your image will lighten the canvas

Elegance and beauty
Innocence and grace
Everything forever preserved

Shadows and light
Day turns to night
How long it takes
'Till beauty awakes?
Colors will glow
Spirit will grow
Art comes to life
Painted with all the soul

My lips are turning pale
My eyes have lost its shine
Your passion sends a shiver down my spine

One brush upon the mouth
One tint upon the eye
This indeed is life itself

Shadows and light
Day turns to night
How long it takes
′Till beauty awakes?
Colors will glow
Spirit will grow
Life disappears
All that remains is: Death!
Is the Death!
