Capture Him

I want to paint you The way I want to paint the sunset. Splash the universe across a canvas, Capture infinities with a brush. My brush. Coated bristles Dripping truth, Trailing dreams. Your body is my muse: Lips of satin Eyes like storms, Or seas, Skin the petals of a flower I always long to taste. I want to paint you And every bite mark On your shoulders, Your neck, Every fingerprint I leave- Seen Or unseen. Clothed or unclothed. You’re a sirem And I’m a drowning ship rat. You tether me. You are my sun And my moon And an eternity of stars. I want to paint you, Spray your smile In the alleys Of every city I cross. Replace your blood with ink And etch you into my pores. Pull you into my soul, Fill my emptiness With your heartbeat.
