True Masterpiece

If you call can call a painting a masterpiece     
   What do you call love?
Flawless in its form
 Igniting emotion from deep within
They are not brushstrokes
  but gentle touches
Kisses on your face 
  like colors on canvas
In its depth its priceless
  means more than life
Can you feel it?
  In their eyes do you see it?
           Too bold to be black and white
    yet softer than pale moonlight
Too wild to be contained to one
  Yet saught by many
A dance of joy and pain
   like colors in an abstract
                  Beautiful

You define love wonderfully by comparing it to a masterpiece as it is one. Terrific use of color and imagery used to make your point. Great flow and an overall terrific write. Michael
