The Artful Confession

My love has the eyes of Rembrandt or Delacroix
He sees me in the passion of his secret inner light
He paints with strokes of extraordinary fervor
The fire of ecstasy and devotion of the joy in us

I mirror his vision with glowing admiration
I blush elated by his interpretation to conceive
For what truly I am not from the outside in his vision
Is what I am on the inside showing through

This portrait warms my heart and my spirit
From its reflection that carries his fondness to share
All the precious moments we've gathered together
Portrayed in the picture he paints divinely clear
