For all the talk of love and hearts aflutter,
I don't know that it is any the better
than true regard and a greatness
that forces you to willing submission.
It is all well to admire the heavens
but when a man can recreate a portion
of a world of his very own creation;
a singular story of courage, of atonement
and of a selection of motion picture moments
entirely his own, then that is true beauty.
While an artist's canvas cannot capture
the fleeting emotions across his model's eyes,
those same wondrous eyes will never
serve for a glimpse into the artists soul
fully as his palette will, or the expression he
wears while holding it at hand's breadth.
