I Was Painting You

Love makes the world go around.

I know they look like
sunrises and sunsets,
but I was painting you.
When I painted all the
rivers that lead to
the oceans, and the
glorious starry nights,
and the flowers, the
sublime orchids and
the tender roses.
In the end
and from the beginning,
I was painting you.

Thomas,
Great rendition of what we are here for!
I've been a poet for over half a century, and written who knows how many poems, essays, short commentaries, and walked through forests, deserts and the shores of oceans, and every bit of it was for Patricia Alice whom I did not meet until just a handful of months ago... Patricia Alice was all my dreams.

To feel so deeply about another person that canvas and alphabet combine is.. beautiful. Doing both takes time and thought, what more could one give?!

[Thomas W Case]

Thank you much.

I was painting you. I love this powerful line. Such a good line. It accomodates the whole poetry and beyond. I feel that single line is enough to tell the whole story. Good poem

Poetry and painting are the same when joined in love and time. Excellent work.

I find painting and poetry are so closely linked, as demonstrated in this poem here. The imagery of the natural environment stands out. You have painted the Goddess Gaia. Lovely piece.
