Paint My Heart

31 March 2006


If I could hold you heart
my touch would be gentle in kind
I would stretch out my arm
and draw you near in a picture told

Each moment would be
as if breath stood still
To grasp your being
held close to me in love

This sense of feeling
the heave and lowering of your chest
Of a love - an entirety to want in rest

If I could hold your heart
just think of it now
For “I love You”
Katie Marie
the girl with eyes of brown


“Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes,
and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.”
Proverbs 20: 13 KJV

only the real "Katie Marie" this works is based upon has blue-grey eyes.

So goes a play on words based upon her true name

There is a poem that comes before this one Ballad of Katie Marie

the true "Katie Marie" is a very good friend of mine, from Ohio, USA. When I live in New Zealand.

Marie is her middle name, while the poem is based upon what her true name is. Without giving too much away.
