Two Figures

Well folks, in partial answer to Lumina's challenge, I have put pen to paper. I am hopelessly inept when it comes to poetry, so I ask your indulgence and kindness as you read below.

The observer;
A picture of measured insouciance
That belies his inner turmoil.
Measured elegance personified in the cut of the cloth,
The angle of the hat,
The refinement of the hands.

The subject;
A figure of relaxed movement
That reflects inner harmony.
Natural grace captured in lean lines,
Long limbs,
The confidence that comes from self awareness.

The encounter;
A study in contrasts
That challenges perception.
The cosmopolitan and the naturalist,
Subterfuge and honesty,
Emotions hidden and revealed.

The bonding;
A testament to faith
That defies convention.
The melding of souls,
The acceptance of other,
The affirmation of self.
