"Painting Word Pictures"

      "Painting Word Pictures"

 

With words, I paint pictures in my mind;

Of far away places and long ago times.

Sometimes the pictures are so easy to find,

But often I am stopped, by words that won't rhyme.

 

I think of the stories, I am trying to tell;

They are locked in my mind and continually dwell.

If I had a paint brush...could I paint you one time,

Or are you locked in a yesterday that is no longer mine.

 

I often search for the correct words to say;

Always hoping the rhymes will come...and stay.

For years I did paint, with spectacular hues;

I wish I had painted...a word picture of you.

 

I have always loved words and pastel colors that shine;

Ways to express all that I feel in my mind.

It seems that what ever medium I may choose;

What I am trying to express is... a clear view of you.

 

Just to express...that all that I feel...

In words or in colors--for me is so real.

I guess that what...I am trying to say;

By a pen, pencil or paint brush, I love you today.

 

So if you see a painting, or of words that are in rhyme;

I hope you will remember...I really loved you one time.

I enjoyed the poem. I liked how you used colors.
"Just to express...that all that I feel...
