She was short of breath
from climbing that steep hill,
but sweat added lustre
to her flushed face.
Attractions were too many
for him to paint in one stroke:
dangling curl of silky hair
and her slim waist
lost their curvature
in straightness of neck.
The canvas still holds true
but remains half painted,
for colour dried fast that day
in the warmth of their embrace.
