The portrait
Let me take with me your picture
of your absolute consummate beauty
to keep locked up in my heart forever
for the eyes of no one else but me,
the only one to fully worship and appreciate your beauty
unforgettably perceived and photographed by my mind's eye
to keep it as the highest and most incomparable of treasures
to look upon in precious moments of supremest privacy
to thereby stay in touch with you
in love imperishable
never to be perfectly consumed
but only, every time I look upon it,
more aggrandized
and the more so the more I may live,
and long beyond my dying days.
