Still Life - Michael Franks

In watercolor the lovers enraptured

The moment is captured

The faint light reveals them

Their closeness conceals them

The warmth of the scene

Floats in ultramarine

It rivets the vision

It’s great composition

The curve of her hair

And the manner in which they’re embracing

Leaves no doubt

Their kiss keeps the world out

The painter has shown them

As if he had known them

Consider this sample

A perfect example

Of still life
