Portrait

Painting a picture
a picture of you
you and your friend
a friend of mine

you sit together
on a comfy couch
ready and waiting
two friends I like

this portrait of you
your friend of mine
with face in profile
with a wide smile

an intimate portrait
of a quiet time
between two friends
two friends of mine

I mix the paint
to paint your face
colour in the warmth
two hearts so dear

captured well
in the light this
portrait holds
two friends of mine
