artist's brush
artists brush
i have painted you
with the pointed brush of an artist
creating every line and detail of your body
before finishing the colors
now
I have laid aside my paint-filled brush
realizing that i could never compliment your beauty
with pastels on canvas
i filled volumes with words
intending to tell you how much you mean to me
by building paragraphs on pages
before adding any pause or punctuation
i've now laid aside my pen of passion
knowing that my words would fall like roses to your feet
and cause you to blush
to even more beautiful shades of red
i've listened to love songs in your presence
and watched in awe as you conquered days of uncertainty
followed with a joyful heart as you strolled into new territories
unafraid
i've fallen in love with you so many times before today
but today i just wanted to say again
it's easy to love you
if i seem like a child in the presence of his hero
it's because i am
it's because i love you
all over again today
