He saw her...
He told her she was beautiful,
She smiled,
A cynical curve
His heart fell
She did not believe him
He sat away from her
And drew her with his heart
The furthest tip of his pen
And felt her beauty
With no outward invasion
He touched the tip of her upturned nose
Slightly flat and obnoxiously large
He caressed her high cheek bones
Softly with the felt edge of his heart’s tip
And marveled at their exaggerated height
Overdone width
He sighed as he guided the tip
Along her plump arms
Indented with a birth mark? A scar?
Something...
He lovingly brushed up the shadows in the inner arm
For effect
To show the loveliness of cellulite
He sang a serenade within
As he touched up her bosom
Huge and clumsy, an orchard of melons
Slowly slid down the valley between
To the extra folds of skin
Around her middle
His heart leaped as he tenderly drew
Delicately outlining the curve of her womanliness
He sighed with awe as his pen
Expertly sketched the bumpy area of her behind
Big rounded and low, a misplaced hill
On a clumsy terrain
He felt each smooth curve with his hearts hands
Cupped their spilling fullness
And lavished his admiration
He swooned with relish
Over her legs; stubby and unusual
Her thick short feet, hardly a size four
And blessed them with his pen...
A pair of glass slippers
Then he reached out again
Told her she was beautiful...
This time, offended
She slapped him and walked out.
