The Bust The bust was made a of marble, a replica so true, with features carved so lifelike that emotions shone through too. Beneath the bloom of marble, I am sure that there must be pulsing veins to give it life with red blood flowing free. The sculptor used his chisel to petrify his wife knowing that his efforts gave her eternal life. This beautiful creation, would retain its inner light when both of them had perished and succumbed to life's long fight. Now the sculpture and his lady have a lifetime to compare her every extra wrinkle from her neckline to her hair! Ivor G Davies The moment created this second, is a moment that's going to last. It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past. |

This is a superbly written and thought out piece ivordavies..... (and to think, I thought most created busts were silicone)? Very good job seriously... |

Hmmm, I would have preferred to have had my bust sculpted when I was in my prime time.  Lyrical, romantic ~ and with an hysterical closing stanza!  Your poem, to use the phrase Mike Myers coined, "It has charmth".  Linda |
