The Artist

~ a romantic octelle ~

Karol Bak ~ Art

~~~

A masterpiece before his eyes

he paints her as he would sunrise

catching light shining within

in golden hues, silken skin

is softer still, with a trace

whispering of clouds of lace

a masterpiece before his eyes

he paints her as he would sunrise

 

With warmth and grace, his work of art

wraps bright sunbeams around his heart

soft yet bold with just a blush

of gentle fire from his brush

rising in his sky of blue

in her beauty all is new

with warmth and grace, his work of art

wraps bright sunbeams around his heart

 

And in the chill of darkened skies

he looks to her, she is sunrise

painting dreams in colors of

his passion,  as from above

she fills shadows of the night

fading gently in her light

and in the chill of darkened skies

he looks to her, she is sunrise….

Your three Octave stanza’s contains such established pattern and organization with wonderful rhyme schemes at the end of each verse. The artist and masterful feminine beauty creation, what a perfect theme, enjoyed this piece thanks for sharing.

MsJewel,
In your profile you claim that your poetry is not unique. I find your poem " The Artist", uniquely beautiful.
Your writing is spiritual in the yearnings of the man's heart toward a very special lady. I enjoyed your poem and look forward to reading more.

if the picture is anything to go on, plus your imagery, fireworks of romance are on the cards.

You have described the process of painting in such beautiful terms that the readers seek other meanings as well. Being a painter, I know this is equally exciting for both painter and the painted. Very inspiring.

[MsJewel]

I'm thrilled you found inspiration from my scribble. It's always lovely to see you :) Julie
