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