Textured stock

Sketched,
With bare tracings
Of love,
yet unrealized

Awaiting the wash
Of relevant colors
Applied by these
Unsteady hands

In attempt to depict
A romance in wash

Your solitary Blues
With my own lonely Ochres
Strive to find balance
And harmony within

This unfinished painting

A watercolor of us

Je t'aime, Etoile

I liked this. It made me smile. I loved the references to art, and how you connected it with love. French is a nice touch too. Magnifique!

I don't care if you're an old fart, because old people are smarter than me.

A romance in wash...
the visions of that one line alone leaves
ripples...

Ed....thank you...I adore this beautiful poem. Kisses

Brush strokes softly linger over my body
Effortless as wisps of shadows moving across the room
Breathing lightly across my breasts

Moonlight streams through the studio skylight
Touching my face with an innocent, unintended longing
Flickering almost imperceptibly
Exaggerating the hunger hidden deep in my heart

Our bodies sing intricate chorales of light
Faceted bodies pulsing with passion
Winding about each other in elaborate rays of celebration
Delicately etched against the night’s sky

Ocher and amber
Saffron and citrine
Passions transfigure into colors that never had a name

Exquisite fragile elegant ethereal
A portrait of our evening's embrace



Amore...

Her "solitary blues" and your "lonely ochres", blended together, would make a wash of healing green that could bring the balance and harmony you strive for.

~ Perhaps you should finish the painting....

Etoile,
there you go again, prettying up my poor scribbles with your beautiful verse. (of course, I love it when you do)

It is yours to do with, as you please.

My pleasure is in your reply.

Je t'aime
