Artist Unknown

I found a soft moonlit night behind a willow tree
where thin silk worn clouds
paint your fragrance –
a softly sweetened smile.

A palette of colors reflected
in image of you
sketched by hand
and wrapped around
an icy dark blue night sky…

Is it a sin for me to have thoughts
of gazing at you?

To have a longing for you?
A want to touch
and caress;
of being an easel to hold you
on display?

Should I dare this night
to become day,
forgetting of ever seeing you?
Or should I hold on to you,
embracing the streams of cool
and warm breaths of you?

Or should I render this prospect to canvas?

A painting carved with wire brush,
and scraped across a pale lifeless canvas
etching in unmoving lines and an endless horizon.

Then –
Artfully placing an edge of fine mahogany frame.

Titled and signed:
“A moment unclaimed.”
