The Perfect Painting

It does not exist The Louvre lusts for such a work of art Napoleon and Louis both depressed The perfect painting does not hang There may have been an artist one day Capable of such a feat I tell you now, this was not to be Nothing perfect in those decrepit paintings of history The perfect painting will come to pass When the stars of fate align You shall fall with in my sights As I turn my charm into woven gold I will have you in my arms so close I shall create a palette of rainbows As I paint my love for you Then my lass you shall see The perfect painting A mirror of beauty bestowed Hung on the halls where angels sing Divine is the statuesque The perfect painting Of you

I do believe that would be the perfect painting. They say - no one is perfect until you fall in love. Thanks for this lovely poem... Lucilla

wow, what a tribute to some divine woman out there!! I know there was a contest on perfect painting but isn't it finished? This would have been the perfect entry for that one!! BTW, The hills are alive was inspired mostly by this neat picture I found of a hill behind some farm houses and the trees made me think of spies. the title is inspired by the contest The HIlls are Alive with Poetry.

Thanks, I saw all the titles and said I'll have it a go, no woman though just a poem! I thought of the song "The hills are alive" as when they tried to escape the Nazi spies where about! Love poems that can have double meanings even if not intended!!!!
