Desire.
It is unlikely that any portrait will ever do Desire
justice, since to see her (or him) is to love
him (or her), passionately,
painfully, and to the exclusion of all else.
Desire smells almost subliminally
of summer peaches, and casts
two shadows: one black and sharp-edged, the other
translucent and
forever wavering, like heat haze.
Desire smiles in brief flashes, like sunlight
glinting from a knife-edge.
And there is much else that is knife-like about
Desire. Never a
possession, always the possessor, with skin as
pale as smoke, and
eyes tawny and sharp as yellow wine.
Desire is everything you have ever wanted.
Whoever you are. Whatever you are.
Everything.
