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...

Its hard to portray the true beauty we see whether in paint or with pen. I struggle with this myself. But when we manage to do it what a sight to see. This is a lovely poem!!

[Im His Daughter]

this is wonderful. you sure have a way with words. Are you married?? lol If so your wife will love your poetry.

[wordman]

she doesn't even like me lol

[wordwarrior]

Ahh Ron, this really made me sigh. Your words are soft and tender. A most beautifully penned poem with images that wriggle their way into every girls heart I am sure.
Pen ink and dance!

[wordman]

thank you I guess that's my genre love poetry lol

[wordwarrior]

It appears that way to me lol! Good to have a genre you like and are good at. We know what to expect! Something beautiful!

[wordman]

well I really appreciate your words but I see my self as a learner

[wordwarrior]

Ron, we are all learners. If we denied that, then our writing would never progress. I like to try different genres but dark is not one of them. I' should, but they all seem to come out sounding quite funny!
If you love love poetry, then go for it and you'll get better all the time!

Nicely written. Any work of art created with love in mind must reflect that love in some way, I believe.

[wordman]

thank you for stopping by

[Joyce S. Greene]

When you create a work of art you do indeed recreate the subject of your art according to your own perceptions of what you see. Beautifully written, Ron.

A picture painted with words is probably the most vivid picture you will ever come across. Something is lost in the flatness of a photograph, even in the nature of a beautiful painting, but with words you can show the little things that make a person or scene come to life. I can feel the heart in this one.
