self portrait

i'd like to paint your portrait
she tells me
if you agree
to be my subject
for a while.
i see something in your
eyes that intrigues me.
mirth and compassion,
kindness even.
i see a so much of 
your world
inside. 
so i say yes,
then send her a few poems
to peruse,
but after reading them,
she suddenly
changes her mind.
