Acrylic Beauty

I watch people passing me by on a day to day basis.

They stop and stare, making me feel not so faceless.

They tilt their heads and say a few words.

They comment on the scenery and the bluebirds.

Some study me deeply and try to find a truth.

They look for answers, reasons, sometimes their youth.

I see a variety of people from very young to very old.

They tell me stories that they have never told.

I feel like a goddess when their fingers caress my face.

For that very moment, I can breathe, I can taste.

I feel like the envy of every living thing.

I am your little secret, your treasure, your summertime fling.

I am bold and wildly colorful, yes, this is true.

I am girl in a painting and I am staring back at you.

cool write. I am wondering did you have the concept and write first then find the picture? Or see a picture and then do the write? this piece is almost a mystery but you have given us enough to figure it out. I love this style of writing. Very well done.

I actually wrote the poem first and happened to find that picture. It was almost like fate. I love writing pieces like this, mysterious but open. Thanks for the review. :)
