Portraiture
Copyright 1998,1999 Rick Landrine
On my palette lies the color of love on the easel, a portrait to be my heart plays the part of inspired muse while Erato on looks...jealously Beneath my skill and incarnate savant lies the mnemonic pulse of my touch images rendered as Cupid bears witness I capture your heart with my brush I'm an artisan of love by trade and I paint upon your porous heart using the colors that I posses I transform canvas into art "For my gift is a painting that you'll never resist it's a masterpiece of art to forever persist and once you've been painted, you'll never outgrow the portrait of love your life's longed to know" You pose with agile prowess years rehearsing both body and mind I'm the painter you've practiced for and have lovingly yearned to find In a gallery full of depictions where the paint by number strokes fail I'm the troubadour to reprieve you the only one to prevail Only I possess the color your portrait craves a rainbow of color your heart must see at the end is not gold, but love that you'll find a portrait of life, in full color, with me. "For my gift is a painting that you'll never resist it's a masterpiece of art to forever persist and once you've been painted, you'll never outgrow the portrait of love your life's longed to know"
