                 Portrait

I cannot portray
the immense depth of love
you've sculptured in my life.

I see only beauty with you.
And I adorn every facet
of breathless imagery.

I reach for you in undying conquest,
as I feel the victory
of your passions inside me.
Your hair scatters down in ripples
of satin across my skin.
Your naked fire loses me
in echoes of magnificence
and raging fury.

The amber shadow of your silhouette
dances as one with my own,
and the warmth of your breath
fills me in glory beyond infinity.

Your motions take me higher,
and I sail on cascades of beauty
and awesome ambiance.

Together we lay silent.
Aglow in embers of this scarlet portrait
...I paint only for you.

paint yourself again poet of heart
and show me the finest of your art
and with the brush of your pen
make me believe again. . .

Somebody hand me the brush!  Good Lord in heaven what a piece of passionate writing.
I used to paint by numbers but I never felt the urge to go for the canvas as I did after reading this!  ummm ummmm

forgive me, I'm in a mood today!!
