He was out and about
In his usual way
Till across the courtyard
His eye dared to stray

Never before
Had he beheld such a sight
Hair of flame
Burning in the bright sun light

At the sight of her
He lost all control
So across the courtyard
He decided to stroll

Right then and there
He made his way
To where she sat in the grass
Her mind at play

He was tall and blonde
With eyes of green
And the most intense gaze
She’d ever seen

She looked up at him
At his looming height
She was held spellbound
And frozen with fright

With his touch made of velvet
He wiped away all her tears
And his soft spoken words
Swept away all her fears

The life of an artist
Is the life he did choose
And she in her glory
Would become his sweet muse

With her skin pale as cream
And her heart full of fire
She would soon come to fulfill
His every desire
