Portrait painted

A painting or portrait my friend did of me on holidays five or so years ago writing it from his or artists perspective

Turn up that nose
Cover up your fatty chin
Let me see the glint in eye
As your parody of
Life within
As your angled jaw
Retreats for only me

No don't smile
Pose gently now
Relax a while
And sip a little gin
Or whatever we had
That night it's plainly
Wine so
Let the merry parody
Of love begin

I know you not Mona Lisa dear
But hey the time is near
To see what lies beneath
Blue eyes
And wondrous jack and Jill
Beguile

I need to paint
To reacquaint
And see the girl within
The years have not always been
Kind
But what strange beauty lies maybe
Deep within
In your strange blind mind

So smile and gaze
In purple rays
And my pencil
Will begin
An artist knows well
His chosen subject
Be it boat or ocean or
House or hill
or girl or that plain
Woman who is aging
With that hidden odd
Unexpected grin
