Sweetly singing...to you

The songs of love, hear me as I sing

Singing sweetly…to you

 

 

Pathways lead,

I follow with my eyes closed

Sleek and slender the wings

of painted treetop songs

counted in measures

of bliss

 

Sunsets adrift,

tangerine lyrics roll the horizon

as silent emotions endlessly call

in echoes of promise,

lingering in butterfly

dreams

 

Destinations wait,

distances of eastward thought

where cities come to meet,

and skylines form your melody,

in choruses of acapella

brush strokes

 

Harmonies abound,

played of satin stringed desires

ballads float on silhouettes, listen

For all of this is my heart

singing sweetly…

to you

"butterfly dreams." This truly is a dream. What great imagery. I loved the word use and how it was set up. Great job. A fun read.

...Sigh....pause...another read....and sigh. A deep resonant lump in the throat sigh. I love music. I don't write about it because it makes me ache...for so many reasons. But this is a vibrant psalm to it. Incredible.

This was so beautiful Jack. Actually brought some happy tears to my eyes :)
The power of love really knows no boundaries. Wonderful work.

What a lovely ballade, Jack. Beautiful, smooth - just perfect. I love the picture! I have a similar drawing I did about a year ago but different tattoo, and she's draped verses wearing a dress. One day, when I have time (which means probably years away!) I'm going to paint it and hang above my bed. :)

[Jack...]

And I bet it will be beautiful when you do, that is until you walk into the room, for at that time there will be nothing in the room more beautiful than you. Thank you so much.

[Emerald Seas]

Thank you. You are too kind, Jack! I haven't painted in a long time. I actually sketched it out for an illustrator out of Indiana to paint for me, but through life issues and then a move, she kinda dropped the project. I decided to just have my hand at it myself when I manage a breather from the hectic pace of my own life :)

I just started painting about 6 months ago and I am having a blast with it. Not sure I am any good, but it is fun.

[Emerald Seas]

Enjoy what you're doing - as long as you are having fun with the process.
Does the end result (even though I'm sure they are wonderful paintings from what I've seen in your pictures) matter that much?

[Jack...]

No it doesn't really, I have found painting to be not unlike poetry, you move you brush and paint what you feel.

[Emerald Seas]

Exactly!

Thank you for the beautiful sound created by your words here, Jack. It's so romantic to hear the voice of your love singing your love song.
Keep it up. :)

[Jack...]

Wow, I do truly appreciate your kind words. Thank you so much for making me smile
