Lost Forever In a Portrait of Love

~ “Pristine your pose, exposed artistic allure” Canvas on easel waits patiently, naked in formless thought Inviting rapture’s brush strokes “White on white destined pleadings” Visions engulf watercolor yearnings blending passion’s tints… Seductive bristled breaths fall “Soft curves fill unframed desires” Orchid skin seeps semi-gloss wishes, hues of fire fed glazing Smooth along tender tan lines “Valleys of bliss penetrate oiled needs” Mahogany eyes captivate, portals shimmering silently, beckoning in secretive glances “Seductive palettes draw on my sight” Crimson lips in a whimpered pout, satin pillowed arching designs whisper me my dreams “Their touch breaks my will” As I paint you, I linger in lust Overwhelmed by your beauty, falling helplessly into this masterpiece “And we become one via art” Saturated in drop cloth drippings, sighs of fevered temptations rise releasing abstract movements “Acrylic serenity, vibrant achings” Melting in chromatic motion, collapsing among over-sprayed delirium, embracing flowing iridescent endings “Lost forever in a portrait of love”

Oh my, now I'm going to have to google "maître peintre". Thank you Paloma, you have no idea what your kind words mean to me.

This is soo good Chris, just loved every line! A definite 7! I write songs too and play a few instruments, compose a little here and there, nice to know fellow musicians out there.

Oh my goodness. I do some music too (keyboard), but I lost a lot of what I used to be able to do with classical, so I just write my own songs (not that good)...more painting lately. That is great about your music !

You know, from reading your poetry I had a feeling you were a painter, at least an artist beyond poetry. That is great. I do a little painting too but I'm not that good. I'm more of a musician. I am so happy you liked this one and it touched you Heidi. Thanks you always for your kind words.
