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
