Canvas Pleasures

Mellow memories suffice

my mind full of ivory passions

deeply wounded in the perfect way

in my heart

I have come to you

uncovered as if I were your magic genie

straight out of my bottle

your deepiest wish

is my command

take my hand

as I lead you to the Oasis

stranded desires

has come to pass

now you must supply me

with everything you have

from the crown of my head

to the mere souls of my feet

the feelings of constant heat

is not suprising

I rise to every occasion

that is offered by you

tempted with a slight hint

my surroundings are of darkness

the only light

is a flicker of the candle you light for me

I can see your eyes

very sharp and keen

staring right at me

graciously you excite me

exceed my visions of you

by overtaking the 

erotic glazed thoughts

of my mountains built

and customized only

to fit your well endowed canvas

I try to lay still, but the moment

won't allow me... 

as you take me

bit by bit

painting every curve

with the stroke

so gentle

I cry softly as if I were

a lost little girl

reaching out for you

more and more

I've been taken in

mesmorized with oil based solutions

that you had completed

hung to dry

displayed in the only musuem

that is is well known

by you

    As challenging and confronting as the picture that inspired it. Good luck in the contest.

    Beautiful write. I liked the ending. It makes me think of how people will treasure memories of their loved ones whether through memories, pictures, paintings or anything else. Keep writing.

    WOW

    I loved this poem! The metaphorical use of painting a picture was brilliant, I'm a visual artist myself so I really connect to poems that use these processes. Beautiful images from the genie in the bottle, to painting and brush strokes, to being hung in a museum!!! It was very well constructed! You've got a new fan!

    I am awe struck bcause this poem did not just require
    talent. It required work and you put your back into this poem as well as your heart.

    Piff you are a very very beautiful and deep writer. This is wonderfully-written. Such imagery here is outstanding. This is deep and all-consuming. It is a satin and silk laden piece of work. Well done for this Piff. Wonderful writing.
