IF I COULD PAINT PICTURE

READ AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY

 

 

Van Gogh painted a picture

Of a psychedelic Starry Night

Munch had a screaming head

Running away in fright

Shakespeare wrote of Romeo

And his love for Juliet

How it ended in tragedy

This we shan’t forget

Plato wrote of a magic place

Atlantis was it name

He never really saw it

But believed it just the same

If I could paint a picture

It would be of you instead

This would be a masterpiece

With your hair of auburn red

.

I do not need a Van Gogh

For you are my Starry Night

The moon would be smiling down

Not trying to run away in fright

.

And the love I have for you

Would not end in tragedy

But go on forever

Right through eternity

.

The magic place I'd write about

Is right here in my heart

There will be no more make believe

It's where my love will start

.

So let me paint that picture

With me right by your side

For I want the world to know

My love for you is bona fided

Beautiful. AW

[Dreamer]

oh okay, I've been reading a few pieces that are making me rethink the understanding of men. I'll say what i said before, I love the way you are tapping into the minds of women. Finding that special way to secure their faith and trust. The need to feel secured with someone seems to be fulfilled in this piece. I enjoyed this. I like the way you used the socially accepted 'masterpieces' to emphasize the importance of this woman

Stellar.

This is one of your better works Donald. I really love the way you have shown a picture can add so much to poetry.
