Portrait of A Man  with a Quilted Sleeve 

by Titian 1510 

 


 

Living In London

As soon as  I saw this
in the National Art Gallery London
I used to go and visit  him
all the time
" Why couldn't I find a guy
with that intensity and sensitivity?"

I still remember exactly where he was.
After a while I grew fickle and forgot all about him
Until I saw him again years later
In a Hong Kong bar
"My God...there's the man with the quilted sleeve"

  1. The second photo does look suggestive. Now I am intrigued too about him.

  2. I've always felt that there is a world waiting to happen in those eyes, that penetrating look...
