*I ne'er half thought of you as best Painted, frozen on canvas, still, set? Static & unmoving...  but I do rest In my bet you feign'd it. The man Thus, he is as a criminal! If hold he Must you as possession -Beauty's Pageant. A sun proving to ne'er grow Stagnant. Go'th then, swept in wind, smooth & Seminole, with no frame to so seal In YOUth within his lines -rather reel In Lines of my rhymes to sustain YOU Ever Both A's & Q's. No pause, Sure Forever. Inks & links rather than oils soon Cracked & Dried out, faded with careless Neglect And old Time, proving Spell checked Words, ripen'd on a vine, (freely repro- Duced,) is better than stretchers 2 show In one place, wired/hooked on a dim wall Of your captor. His penchant 2 refuse call, Or to face, why your smile wert so small. Unbeknownst to the brushed up painter, Who with gobbledygook stained your Heart, but took you as his Sitter bitterly. So if your Silence art your bitter Mystery, Then book Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall As my pen chants only 4u -a wonderwall.*

Wonderwall- Barrier which separates the mundane from a transcendent Reality which has a slit where the observer catches a glimpse of what lies beyond. Not a reference to an imaginary friend who saves you from yourself. A's=Answers Q's=Questions or (Cues.) The Argument: Writing is a better way to sustain a person, because when copies are made of the original words, they still have the same value as opposed to copies of a painting. Also, a portrait locks the Sitter within the parameters of the frame, whereas the lines of verses set the subject free. Or perhaps she is better painted now that I put things in perspective, if she is both the canvas and the paint -I will let that sink in for a while. Update* Did anyone fig it out? I half-implied she is self absorbed... Lol
