If I could paint a man, by Laura Alaniz

Laura Alaniz

If I could paint a man

Eyes so dark they shine

Brooding and stormy

Til the smile breaks through

If I could paint a man

Skin

Soft and smooth yet thick

The richest color I have seen

If I could paint a man

His nose

Well formed yet soft

A balance of ethnicities

This beloved face

This beautiful man

Is just my type

To this day

I stop and stare

Liked or faved by...
