CANVAS

You make me your canvas of colors

Your hands are brush strokes in smooth ribbons

Painting me in painterly of delicate welts and longing

And my body become as -

Shakespeare's aubergine - lavender - pale magenta - amethyst

Tudor's ruby - dusky fuchsia - warm hyacinth - amaranthine

You paint me in painterly of gentle batters and yearning

And my body become as -

Highlands heather - jacaranda - autumn mauve - oak wheat

Tuscan terracotta - desert russet - fire copper - antique wine

You make me your canvas of colors

Your hands are brush strokes of thick dollops

You paint me in painterly of treasure marks and invocation

And my body become as -

Sienna gold - willow yellow - jasmine sand - sherbet creme

Persian blue - soft sapphire - tender turquoise - pearl gray

You paint me in painterly of precious stripes and adoration

And my body become as -

Spring green - pine emerald - tan chartreuse - olive sage

Sun vermillion - peach coral - crimson scarlet - burgundy

You make me your canvas of colors

Your hands are brush strokes of vivid desire and mirror magic

Your hands are brush strokes of flaming passion and liquid love

I become glabrous and golden as opulent Siberian silks

I become mystical and ethereal as rays on Shiraz roses

I become bright and glorious as a rainbow in sunlight

I become luminous and classic as the glow of moonlight

My body - a written poetry summoned into creation

My body - a dancing masterpiece captured in motion

My body - a love art frozen for blossoming devotion

You paint me Yours

You paint me young

You paint me beautiful

You paint me eternal
