Poem & Painting 1

Just wanted to share a poem & painting of mine...hope you like!

"Your Muse"

Play each note as a small melodic reminder 

Of every sweet touch received from every finger 

Reminisce on my every soft spoken word 

Provoking each harmony to somehow mirror 

Commend the intensity of my understated strength 

To Power your passion of your potent instrument 

Let the illusive notion of my inevitable absence 

Sear every word you sing into my subconscious 

Invoke my timid nature & intriguing mystery 

Beginning the complexities of each your analogies 

Rekindle the memories of our climatic connection 

Becoming the pinnacle of each quote you fashion 

Anticipate each dimple as you glorify my smile 

Conceive your lyrics to compliment our style 

Feed us all your vivid details with notable intensity 

Recite to captivate attention, as if it’s just you & me 

Capture me in that diminishing moment in time 

Reveal each subtle detail that is mine 

Showcase the mole sitting softly in my eye 

Or the Graceful line flowing down to my thigh 

Let your brush stroke to highlight every strand of hair 

Add your secret symbols only we can decipher 

Yearning to be a masterpiece, a simple fascination 

An everlasting impression – every patrons craving 

Replicate the colors that saturate my every being 

Find a way to show me what I fail to see.
