You have two earring that I can see
Resting lightly on your ear.
One is a fish, and the other, a silver loop.
They hang off your ear
Half hidden behind a lock of flaxen hair.

Your eyebrows, long and narrow
were drawn upon you by God himself.
They sit, perched over your closed eyelids
As you sleep. The light reflecting mutely
Off your makeup. Beautiful.

Your lips are slightly parted
Slightly painted
Rather pretty like the rest of your face.
Your head rests on your small hand.
Delicate fingers, stretching over the desk.
As I pen these lines, your eyes open.
Large blue eyes, that could
Steal anyone away.
