IF I WAS AN ARTIST…..

If I was an artist I’d create a collection especially for you
It’d have amazing displays of color that depict all that’s right about you
Every stroke drawn with inexplicable technique to show new heights of pleasure introduced by the magic inside your fingertips
I’d map each sinew gingerly
Transforming flesh and blood into sheer delight on canvas
With each splash of color telling exactly how with simple gestures
You brought improvement to precision.

From hues of grey to passionate shades of red
My brushes would tell of a chronicle
That began with one chaste smile
And ended with two hearts beating in perfect unison

I’d use multiple canvases with varying textures and widths
Multiple brushes – with different blending abilities
Each canvas and each brush with different accounts of the myriad of emotions you inspire
From medium grain to deep-edge, every canvas would describe the intensity of my affection
And each brush with its sturdiness and tip control would give intimate details of how with gentleness, you robbed me of the power to keep you out

If I was an artist, I’d paint daily from sunup to sunset
Perfecting old techniques and learning new ones in order to do you justice
And then I’d realize that no painting – not mine or Renoir’s or Picasso’s - could ever capture the very essence of you.
