When they hang my portrait <br />Does it mean I am dead? <br />People look into my eyes <br />And see the sparks of life <br />They wonder what am I all about? <br />Curly hair, Roman nose, Perfect eyebrows <br />They fall in love with my portrait <br />Thier narrative takes over my silent ghost <br />They see dreams lost to their hopes <br />A still image frozen in time <br />I strike their inner court <br />With the vein of mortality <br />Yet as they gaze into my eyes <br />They seek immortality in my freeze <br />For here I am looking at them <br />Breathing their breath from deep within <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright Leaking Pen 2012 <br />September 22,2012 <br />Dedicated to Rupert Brooke<br /><br />Leaking Pen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/portrait-of-a-poet-2/
