My artist is a genius.
The best you'll ever find.
For he can paint a rainbow,
and sunbeams in my mind.
I close my eyes and see his work,
every shadow, every leaf.
Every ripple in a tranquil pond,
or crashing wave against a reef.
I watch him with his brushes,
a masterpiece his goal.
Shimmering on canvas,
the reflections of his soul.
If I traveled to a gallery,
with the finest works of art,
none could surpass the rapture
that he paints within my heart.

Wow you mastered this poem. It's originality shines through your words & beautiful imagery. You painted a picture in my mind. The flow was perfect. Thanks for entering & best of luck

Touch of the master!
The very person each poet here at AP aspires to be. To touch all the senses with words and yet I sense you would be speaking of the effect of love rather than words upon the heart. I like the strength of the words and the imagery you used here. A stunning tribute to the man you love

Ah yes
You should see some
of the paintings that
He does on the Mesas
here during sunsets.
Great lil poem here
loved it.

This is just delightful, so well rhymed without sounding forced and the flow was great. You paint the artist with your words and it becomes a visual for the reader. Great job.

Greaet rhythm and rhyme in these lines, easy to read and understand why you think this artist is such a great one (the love of your life, perhaps? Think line 8 has an extra syllable or two that kind of spoils the beat in a way, but the rest is right on.

Sublime!
Now this is the work of a real artist in every sense of the word!...Simply and yet stunningly beautiful...I can only bow to such wonderfully expressive imagery!...I am left open mouthed...in awe of such a vision of sheer natural perfection!...humbly Dan xxx
