The Painter

Swirls of gold
Swirls of blue
A portrait...
The emotional you
 
From its' depths,
layers of colour
The painter..
Looking for you
 
Swirls of sunset
Swirls of you
Revealing everything,
I know too
 
The spark in the eyes
The painter, never lies
I saw you there
The colour never dies
 
A soul, on canvas
captured for eternity
Swirls of emotion,
filling you and me
 
Soft brush strokes too
guided with love
Swirls of gold
Swirls of blue
 
I saw her too,
in a swirl of blue
Captured my heart
Felt in you
 
The naked face
The naked you
The painter
Captured everything
Everything I want too
 
Textures of light
Swirls of colour
The softness of shadowy light
Such vibrancy,
calling me
 
Shades of you
Shades of me
Lost on a canvas of eternity
in swirls of gold and blue
