paint splatters like tears across your flesh

and i shudder at the thought of you

soft blues, baby boy blues

as liquid skies on flushed skin

softer still pinks,

tender flower petals in bloom,

suns rise on your skin, my sweet

stars further down like glitter

as your sweet voice calls to me

aquiver, pleading

and i, helpless, the admirer

to your spread wings

to your dance among the stars,

stars as the ones in your eyes, my love

i've discovered universes in your sweet gaze

tasted heaven, drank with gods in your lips

and my heart has been filled time and time again

by your sweet voice, sweeter touch,

all your

love

and when my fingers are entwined with yours,

twined as hopelessly as our hearts,

i will paint with lips and gaze and love alone,

I will paint you a thousand times over
