I could be an artist

I typically hate poetry. I write excellent poetry, but I hate the whole genre. Here's the one poem I'll ever share. I think if I had any kind of artistic talent, I would never have picked up the pen.

I could be an artist:
Draw the smile upon your face
Paint your body with my kisses
Blend the colours of our skin

I could be a musician:
Play your pleasure like a pipe
Or write you into love songs
Sung by water-voiced girls on pianos.
I could dance your meter, sway your rhythm
Make love to your rhyme.

I could be a weaver:
Twine you tight into tapestries
Lace your love in loops
Your whispers, your moans, your sighs.

And I will be an artist
And people will ask me
"What's your medium?"
And I'll smile and breathe your name.

Wow. That may be one of the sexiest, sweetest things I have ever read. Kudos. (And now I need a new box of tissues...)

I want to make love to this poem. I'm speechless for love of it. "And I'll smile and breathe your name." I can't even think of the ways to tell you how beautiful this is. I finished it and immediately added it to my favorites. WONDERFUL job.

This almost sounds like Pygmalion, the way you create this person through the creative arts. It's also quite a romantic and sensual poem.

The way you ended it was just perfect too.

Good job.

I believe you posted this on here once before, but, for some reason or another, removed it. So let me say again that it is wonderful, and give you shiny stars! OOOOO STARS!!

What a lovely way to end these thoughtful meanderings. There are a few typos but otherwise a wonderful read. Thank you for sharing.
