Poem
You Will Grace My Canvas Until I Die By Rick Rucker You are my “happy place,” Your style, your curves, your face. All of them are burned into me, Now I shall ne’er be free In the land of your birth, Rembrandt would have known your worth, As a model, you would have supplanted all, Though they might be fair and tall, They couldn’t match how your beauty does trumpet Make the Mona Lisa appear a common strumpet! Walking among us, full of Grace, A gorgeous figure, and Angel’s face, You put all the rest to shame, You even have a lovely name. Ria seems so very exotic, Coupled with the rest of you, hypnotic I hope to immortalize myself, By placing an artwork on my shelf That contains a likeness of your face, My humble attempt to capture your Grace. By vanity, I have sinned, I might as well try to draw the wind, A lowly mortal, such as me, Has not the eyes to truly see The ethereal beauty that is yours alone, Though others would love to have it for their own. I sense inside of you does dwell, The peace that makes the World seem well In these past few magical weeks, You have given my heart a new language it speaks. No longer one of fear and loss, You have allowed me to forever cross From the land of lonely dread Where I would have been happily dead To a land that teems with Hope Where we might one day elope. I know I sound as if I’m crazy And you have me made just a little hazy Still, you are the lucky one, Your Earthly adventure has begun You get to serve, if you choose, To be an artist’s only muse I won’t stray, and I won’t lie, You’ll grace my canvas until I die!
