Open your heart to my heart Paint with the colors of love Enter the gallery of my arms Never to leave, always to stay Your heart my love my canvas Our love my love a picture Using only the finest strokes Reveling in the creation of our love Holding the palette in my hands Ever changing always evolving A true picture of a love so grand Revealing a love not yet known Take my hand, help me to paint --------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Sven, Did you steal my poetry book? LOL. Seriously, nice writing my friend. Love the artistic theme a lot. LW Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility. --William Wordsworth |

The word "acrostic" comes from the Greek "acros" (outermost) and "stichos" (line of poetry). As a literary form, the basic acrostic is a poem in which the first letters of the lines, read downwards, form a word, phrase, or sentence. In this poem, it's "Open Your Heart. . .". There are also DOUBLE acrostics, (the first and last letters of each line) and TRIPLE acrostics (the first, last, and MIDDLE letters of each line!!). Poe's "A Valentine" uses the first letter of his beloved's name as the first letter of the first line, the second letter of her name as the second letter of the the second line, and so on, so that her name was a diagonal from top left to bottom right. Good!! You're getting there!!! ------------------------------------------------------------ That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |
