Analysis of Portrait of Our Love



I read the poem that you wrote.
So simple yet so meaningful.
Then, I wish I could write something out of that poem.
So I could be like you, a poet and a writer, my dear.
Being praised and adored by many readers.

I wish I could be like a star.
That twinkles above, no matter how far.
I wish I could be like the moon-
That brightens the sky at night.
like a silhouette cascading into my room.

oh! how I really wish I will be...
The orange lady in the photograph that-
you adore and love to be your wife.
Yes, I really wish...
That the lady in the photograph is no other than me.

I wish...
One day...
the star...
the moon...
the man...
the lady...
and the photograph...
will be painted as one,
As the portrait of our love.
