If I Could Paint the Sky

If I Could Paint the Sky

A Poem by Neva Flores Smith - Changefulstorm
"

For now I will write the words of love you whisper over my shoulder...........

"































I could never say
 I would like for you  to be stronger
than the wind or rain.
 You sparkle
even when raging tempests
are knocking
 on the door of time.

I can hear passion in your voice
 when you tell me
you remember
how I sang I love you
 in your ear
 and called you my Muse
that whispers words of love
over my shoulder.

I look into the window of your soul
 see my own
smiling back happily
 in the reflection of a mirror
that ripples stronger
every day.
 I can see myself there
 still singing to you
within this art
I write in my tears
of joyful rain.

If a painting of the skies could open up
a tidal wave of hidden emotions
 that would change life for the better,
 I would learn
 how to paint for you.
 Then you could breathe in
 how I feel
when you touch me
 each time
 you look at my painting again.

I would never expect you to be stronger
than the wind or rain
and I know you don’t expect me
 to paint the sky.
  So for now
 I will write the words of love
 you whisper over my shoulder
 and sing I love you,
in your ear
until the day
 I die.

Ahhhh, it's like drinking a cool glass of iced tea on the porch....I have no clue if this was to a lover, but I read it twice and felt it was for a daughter?? I love your elegance and fragile steel wings that paint a monet like poem.... beautiful.
PS: I lived in Georgia for a decade in the foothill of the Appalachians...kinda feel a sisterhood with you.

Some poems you save up, knowing how much you'll enjoy them. This like all of yours is one of them. Never similar, never repeating. Always perfect.

I could feel their presence and see how they move together. This poem is like a dance.

nothing can be inspiring in life more than love... and Love here is doing that very well with you... It is well writing with a sense of passion and adoration and the very sensitive emotions you drew here are so real for the reader. I like some expressions (as long with the whole poem) like : The window of your soul... a tidal wave of hidden emotions.
and the last stanza is adorable.

I'm sitting here listening to Sade's "Sweetest Taboo" from the playlist on your profile page and reading this very sweet and romantic write.

I think all of us would like to have someone show that kind of passion about us. In fact I think the world would be a much better place if people could feel this kind of passion about each other more often.

But, you're revealing, to your love, the depth of emotion that lies behind the bit that you "can" do, in comparison.

This is absolutely beautiful.
Love this, Neva.
