PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I want to paint you like canvas between my hands

Press palms tight to your skin and pull you closer to my image of you

Smooth in soft lines

Thin as the strings of the guitar in your hands

Peel layers off your body...rough like the rasp in your voice

Paint you like a canvas of kisses

Like love dying in the stars

It has happened now

Here

On this porch

Ended the second it was felt

But it will take a while before its light burns out

And I want to paint you like a canvas while it’s still bright enough to see you
