The Essence of You

With brush in hand

I stroke gently across the canvas

searching for the beauty I feel within

 

Trying to capture the essence of your beauty

but I feel inadequate to do you justice

but I continue painting

 

After a few moments

I can see your beauty as it

transforms from my mind

I can almost reach out and touch you

 

I can feel your heart beat with mine

you come alive

you are my creation

the essence of my mind...

"The Essence of You"
wordman,
We paint our thoughts, emotions, dreams with our words. Whether it is drawing, painting, speaking, singing or etc I like the idea. Your poem is a lovely reality of how our inner being's imagination yearns and longs for beauty, for good, for nurture. Great poem sir!
Blessings,
Kathy

Oh, come on, Word. You had me fall in love all over again. I see a man trying to say how he feels inside and that is so sweet. Beautiful poem dear. So romantic.

Seems you have so many facets to your thinking! Sometimes the down to earth, sometimes the brave and bustling.. but this, this is something gently thought, beautifully penned. The metaphorical use of painting canvas/persona has turned many a seedling into a mighty oak...

I can almost feel the passion and simmering desire seeping through each word... The essence of romanticism captured in four succinct moments... Longingly penned...
