Picturesque Love

                                     Picturesque Love

a ryan luse jam

 

When I fell for her, I gathered all the colors her heart possessed

I mixed them on a sun kissed canvass of colors that she had blessed

I painted with my fingers, but it was her that gave it depth and form

She gave it a name, I gave it a voice as the sky began to transform

 

And it rained, Oh God it rained so damn hard

We held on to that picture like a royal guards

The colors would fade, but not the light in our eyes

Because maybe tomorrow we'll give our picturesque love another try

 

When I married her, I took all the elements that her soul required

I mixed them on a moonlit canvas of thought that transpired

I formed it with my eyes, but it was her that made it a masterpiece

She gave it a name, I gave it a voice as the ground began to cease

 

And it was cold, Oh God it was so damn cold

We held on to that picture like thieves with gold

The colors would fade, but not the light in our eyes

Because maybe tomorrow we'll give our picturesque love another try….
