Shall I trace my life to this point?
Carbon paper my very existence
To such a imaginative detail that it’s transparent
For all that my past is only and ever that.
If you could flip through each page in slow motion,
And watch as I love and listen as I think
Could you even begin to ponder how I became who I am?

Shall I paint the sky as I am now?
Beautiful yet oddly scared by the deep blacks of pain.
So Mixed, so confused that the reds of love become
Intertwined with the vibrant yellows of happiness
So deep shadows of pain creep around each curve.
Would you want to paint your own colors in mine?

Perhaps I shall trace you life, make it transparent for the weakest
Eye to see why I love you. I would sketch in what was lost
And erase all the anguish caused. I would only hope
That one day our past will no longer haunt us but keep
Us content in the security of our love.

Love the mix of colors you used
and how you painted them true.

Beautiful work!
