Poetic Images

Writing stories with paint
Painting words with art
You imagine, what I create
Finish and start
I'll capture your moments
With my device
When it becomes past tense
It will more than suffice
Oblivious to your beauty
You haven't yet discovered
Highlighting is my duty
You'll adore what I uncover
Just relax and breathe
Let your colors shine
While I retrieve 
Your angles divine
With every shutter
I can easily reveal
As smooth as butter
Your utmost appeal
Just say the word
You won't regret
It would be absurd
To let you forget
Time is elusive 
As with looks
I won't be intrusive
You'll cherish what I took
It's not just a picture
You must agree
Toss my touch in the mixture
And you will see

I've tried to write many poems over the years to decribe painting with words, but not even come close to doing it as good as you have her. This is a masterpiece in it'self. I really enjoyed it well done. A 7 at least. you are excellent. best wishes. Pete. Keep painting.

Thank you! I have to admit, this is a poem about photography though. It is very interesting that you have such a different take on it. ;)
