Love Poem: Artist

Artist

Artist



Color me naked with your sighs
Scribble me stripped
Stabbed 
Slashed
Stippled on your skin

Paint me black
Seething in charcoal amber
Writhing in lines
The brush strokes of your tongue
Beseech

Craft me artist eloquent
With feathered quill
On the spine of desire
Etch me
Deep acid in your eyes

Brush in the sticky fluid oil of centuries
Canvass hung sacrificial in galleries
Martyred to your beauty
I am

Capture me in sketches
Paper trees and graphite inscribe
And draw me
With your soul
On the timeless wall and halls
Of love

Chiseled I am from marble cliffs
Statue pantheon
You my ancient legend
Artist
In murals cast
Upon the unforgotten forms of beauty

You are primitive

Preordained to the hand-print of stone
Set in caves prehistorical 
With spit and pigment molded
Bonded
Eternal

Paint me naked
In your eyes
