Poetry Time





The Master Artist

The artist looks at the canvas spread before him

His eyes twinkle, his gaze drinking in its nudity

The simple splendor of the smooth white silk

Awaiting the touch of his palette and brush.

He is careful in his craft, making tentative broad strokes

Coaxing the treasure hidden within to slowly appear

Each stroke dances along each curve, 

 placing layer upon layer of hue

Passion's colors begin to glow with a smoldering heat

The bristles caress and tickle

 giving rise to the birth of pastel blooms

Pink blushing petals begin to take on a more vibrant hue

His brush works the finer details,

 as he finds his work's core

The once blank canvas comes alive with his every stroke.

His skill transforms the deceptively inanimate space.

He makes it pulsate and throb with the nectar of life.

Bursting forth, passion's rose blooms with a blinding intensity.

Colorful splashes fill the work with his vision of bliss.

The crimson rose floats among the clouds

 and he too is lifted to a different plane.

Dew glistened petals float gently towards the lush green earth.

He looks at his creation with a loving and admiring gaze.

From within her beauty radiates, and resonates in his heart.

His rare flower, passion's rose.

She blooms only for him.
