Brushstroke


Brush Stroke

With one brush stroke

I attempt to paint

A picture of you

Your beautiful face

The soft lines

Around your eyes

Your hair blowing

In the gentle wind

Sparkling eyes

That stop me

In my tracks

I trace your face

With my hands

So that i may

Get a more accurate

Sense of how

To draw you

but after

My loving hands

Touch your face

I cannot paint

A single stroke

I am so entranced

So mesmerized

By your beautiful face

By your spell

YOU are poetry in motion

Poetry in motion

I fear that i am

Destined to fail

I'm just not

Up to the task

How can i paint perfection

It would be

An exercise in futility

To try to paint

My lover's face

I know

It would be a mistake

To even try

Because i simply can't

Duplicate the beauty

Of your face

Just touching it

Leaves me

Weak in the knees

Your body

Is a work or art

I pay homage to

Michaelangelo

As i trace the

Outline of your hands

Gliding my lips

Across your fingertips

Genius lover

Genius lover

That's what you used to call me

Because i know what you need

I know just how to please you

Do you think it's just

A stroke of luck or perhaps

I've really thought about

What would give you

The utmost pleasure

No genius lover

Just thoughtfulness

Thoughts filled with you

And how thankful i am that

I was able to share some space

With the wonder of you

You make love to me

Like i'm a work or art

I see the love light

In your eyes

And i feel so grateful

To have crossed paths

With the likes of you

Oh, the poetry of you

The poetry of you

The poetry of you

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
