How Do I Make It PRetty

Drawing a blank shouldn't be
too hard. I mean, no wasted
graphite or anything. Or ink,
or whatever medium you're
using (including brain cells).
However:
"How do I make it pretty?" she asked me.
"Just add your face in the corner
with a little love," I said laying there
on the bed watching her from across
the room. She was painting.
She was gorgeous. 'Gorgeous' being
the greatest compliment I can give, right
up there above 'potentially mod.'
"I want these paintings to be
visual representations of your poetry I think,
but I don't know if I can do
it," she stated. "Yeah," I said,
"I don't think you should tone down
your creative output to my
meager level." She threw a paint brush
at me. We laughed,
"Quit being so damn modest you
lovely freak," she said smiling.
"I'll try, Love," flipping Dylan with
a pop and a hiss. She prepared
a new canvas, and I grabbed the
pen and sketch book to write.
From the angle, I couldn't see what
she was painting.
Time passed.
"Come here and look at this," she said, "I
kind of like it." I went over
to see. What I saw was an
impressionist's representation of me sitting
cross-legged on the bed writing in
my book, set in front of me, with a
cigarette in my left hand and a
cup of tea steaming near by on
the night stand. "Will you put this on the
cover of your next book?" she asked.
"Definitely, it's amazing," I said, "but I
thought you wanted to paint something
pretty?" "I did," she responded, "but I
decided to go ugly and I thought
of you." She had brilliantly outsmarted
me. Our foreheads met and
then our eyes. We embraced and
smiled.
These are the moments where love
takes over. These are the moments
I'd love to possess. Some say that
getting there is half the fun, but there
are no road maps for where I'm
trying to go. I guess love is some
kind of unmarked territory. Only the
lost and blind can discover it properly.

Oh this beautiful! You paint the story with your words... it's almost being a fly on the wall!!! This is great! And, again, I love that last stanza... it just sums up love in a few little lines... I love this!!!

| This is such a beautifully honest piece... I love it... You captured the moment so well... I cannot wait for you to write more... I really love your work... every piece has made me sit silently and think... every piece has made me pause every other thought in my mind and pay attention... only great work can do that... })({ ~Adreana |
