THE PORTRAIT


It is your calligraphy of art
That paints the scene
And tells the story

Of our romance and love
The warmth of companionship

The painter

The muse

Lovers in art form

My body the canvas

Your hands the brush

The strokes
Sensuous, rhythmic, intense

Your imagination
Runs up an down
The contours, the curves
The texture of my skin

Your words serenade me
In rich verses

Of red wines, and the
Orange flames of candle light

Of golden shades of passion,
The blueness of longing

Our bodies a contrast
Of color and shades

The hues illuminate us

Our colors run together
Nicely, passionately

Sketched and outlined
In my mind

Framed within our hearts

A portrait of us
