Artist
Artist
Color me naked with your sighs
Scribble me stripped
Stabbed
Slashed
Stippled on your skin
Paint me black
Seething in charcoal amber
Writhing in lines
The brush strokes of your tongue
Beseech
Craft me artist eloquent
With feathered quill
On the spine of desire
Etch me
Deep acid in your eyes
Brush in the sticky fluid oil of centuries
Canvass hung sacrificial in galleries
Martyred to your beauty
I am
Capture me in sketches
Paper trees and graphite inscribe
And draw me
With your soul
On the timeless wall and halls
Of love
Chiseled I am from marble cliffs
Statue pantheon
You my ancient legend
Artist
In murals cast
Upon the unforgotten forms of beauty
You are primitive
Preordained to the hand-print of stone
Set in caves prehistorical
With spit and pigment molded
Bonded
Eternal
Paint me naked
In your eyes
