She brings the colour back into my life. (Remove filter)

The Painted Lady

White canvas face

naked skin awaits.

 

A slight brush

light powder puff.

 

Smooth red lipstick

sparkling blue eyes.

 

Intriguing watchful look

black eyelashes flutter.

 

A golden smile

meets my gaze.

 

As I approach

rainbow door opens.

 

Loving sunlight dreams

head over heels.

 

Aspiring  lovers complete

My painted Lady.
