Charmaine Chircop Poet Light Verse

If I Could Paint

If I could paint

I would paint a kiss

between our lips

as your arms lift me slightly

to dawn in your eyes

If I could paint

I would paint my emotion

through mist on your window - pane

I would write my name

in hope you'd think of me

with each pitter-patter

of first autumn rain

If I could paint

I would paint a muse

who is never distant

Nor She a night mistress

But a muse which dwells 

in your soul, mind and heart

A muse which lives in your shadow

which travels the distances

and is never apart
.
If I could paint

I would paint a bridge

between the river and I

I would paint our silhouettes

between scintilla stars

and a mid~ twilightt sky

If I could paint

I would paint this dark world

as beautiful as you

I'd splash my brush

in a palette of pastels

Of hues'early blossoms

which bloom sweet jasmine blues
