artist's brush

artists brush i have painted you with the pointed brush of an artist creating every line and detail of your body before finishing the colors now I have laid aside my paint-filled brush realizing that i could never compliment your beauty with pastels on canvas i filled volumes with words intending to tell you how much you mean to me by building paragraphs on pages before adding any pause or punctuation i've now laid aside my pen of passion knowing that my words would fall like roses to your feet and cause you to blush to even more beautiful shades of red i've listened to love songs in your presence and watched in awe as you conquered days of uncertainty followed with a joyful heart as you strolled into new territories unafraid i've fallen in love with you so many times before today but today i just wanted to say again it's easy to love you if i seem like a child in the presence of his hero it's because i am it's because i love you all over again today © tolbert
