Hello There Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Paint Me

Wash me in color 
as you see, how you feel - 
I, your blank canvas, await; 
make me real. 

Bring me to life 
with your brush; paint me air - 
a breath with each stroke; 
fill my lungs; show you care. 

Paint me… 
I’ll wait patiently. 
When you’re through, 
I’ll rise each new morn 
in a lovelier hue.

Richard Lamoureux September 14, 2019 at 9:15 AM What a sultry and sensual piece. Hello There September 14, 2019 at 1:07 PM Thank you, Rick. Funny, my original had a fourth stanza which changes the mood entirely, but I like it like this for a change ;)

Chris Green September 9, 2019 at 7:29 AM Paint me in the colors of your love. Incredibly beautiful and alluring. This one spoke in a soft whisper this morning.
