A Poem

A moment in time among many
Captured
Complete and full
Work of devotion, in hand and spirit

The portrait of that moment
Framed
On the wall
Favorite of the artist in his studio

The paint upon the canvas
Vibrant
Rich and alive
The smile of eyes, the warmth of touch

The model muse of desire
Faded
Cold and dark
Erato ceased, Clio the standard now

The prospect of potential
Ended
Shattered and smashed
Shards of what was scattered about
