I want to paint your wristA Poem by Julia Ledo
Let me see your hand
Let me hold the canvas white skin A painting with a pulse That's what you'll be More than a pretty thing hanging on a wall You'll move You'll breathe I want to paint your wrist And make tree branches from your veins I want to drape you in watercolor cherry blossoms And cover you in acrylic waves Let the India ink soak in your pores I want to paint your wrist Sit cross legged on your bed at night Let you scroll with the one hand While I delicately paint the other I want to paint your wrist Turn your scars into stars And make you know they're beautiful They mean something You're beautiful Let me paint your wrist Not to cover up, but to enhance Not to enhance, rather entrance Let everyone be twitterpated With the masterpiece you are God do I want to paint your wrist I don't know why I dont know how the idea came to my mind I took a glance at your pale skin And felt the sudden need To paint on a canvas so exquisite That the work will only stay a day If I'm lucky You'll let me paint your wrist Over and over again I want to paint your wrist So much So often that people think you have a tattoo I want it to be our own personal henna Every brushstroke a promise I love you I love you I love you A pinky promise as I take your hand You're worth it You're worth it You're worth it And I want to paint your wrist And I want to make you see That you're the only work of art That means anything to me And I want you to soak in beauty When the paint washes away Let the pigment soak into your skin Or swirl in the water Whatever you choose Whatever makes you happiest to see I want you to feel the same as when it's there I want to paint your wrist Until it's the only abstract you don't understand I want to paint your wrist Your lovely, bare wrist Over And over Again Until you're convinced You are my master piece.
