Peering through braids <br />of faces adorned, <br />A question of time <br />that had passed <br />His palette now smeared <br />in wishes forlorn, <br />Her time had faded at last. <br />A tuck of his brush <br />replaced a smooth stroke <br />Where once her fair hair <br />had fallen. <br />Though his hands no longer <br />imitated his eyes, <br />Her image remained terse <br />...and yet sullen. <br />He appears in a court <br />of crumbling stone runes, <br />Each one revealing his dreams. <br />A search for her portrait <br />proved utterly fruitless, <br />Lost within his palette, it seems. <br />
