The Man From Bordeaux.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

The Man From Bordeaux....



That handsome man I painted last night,
had disappeared from my canvas,
was it this morning or last night,
I don't know anymore, if I'm right, alas!

I don't know either exactly when,
since I slept so tight, my friend.
The fact is, he is no more on my canvas, it seems
he has eloped with my best friend
or were they just my dreams?

I looked at my palet that night,
all colors are still complete, untouched
deep sea blue, ochre yellow, Titian red, and zinc white
only Bordeaux red was used, that much.

my handsome Bordeaux red man hasn't returned yet
a blank canvas is all I have now, I'm really truly sad.


Notes: aquarel = watercolor painting.
bordeaux = the same red color as in the picture.

So what happened to the man from Bordeaux? I’m intrigued. Did you on, y dream that you had painted him? I dream that I can play my piano pieces and speak Korean fluently...!
