Still Life
Michael Franks
In watercolors 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 realizes 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
