Semper vivit Amor / Love lives Forever
Handsome and Timeless
You looked like a Russian
Pianist and Composer
From the early 20th Century
On the black-and-white portraits
I saw of You, Dear Uncle
Green Eyes like our Sea
Kind and Rebel Gentleman
You died Young and Childless
And your Wife never forgot You
Always cherishing your Memory
Eleven Years of Happiness
She treasured every Second
And She lived a very Long Life
For You both, because She loved You
As much as You loved Her, and...
Semper vivit Amor
Love lives Forever
In loving memory of Uncle * and Aunt @, his loving Wife.

Poem above written by me, as always.
Photo and drawing below also by me, of course.
Above: red Begoniæ in the Secret Corner in my wonderful Parisian Park.
Below: drawing made by me with my usual technique: just a black Bic pen without any preparatory sketch. I like the pencil effect made by the photograph I took of my drawing before colouring it.
Below: my drawing coloured with shiny gel pens.
