Your Body Is My Canvas Wall

Your body is my canvas wall,
and when I'm done you'll have it all.
I almost picked black and white but that won't do,
The colours of the pallet will suit you.

An outline of your ever beating heart,
yes-that is where I need to start.
to show your lasting love for me
I made our hearts to sync in beat.

I painted your eyes shades of Green and Gray,
knowing they woud keep the tears away;
Then I start to draw your lips,
tracing the ruby red with my fingertips.

I move them down to your neckline,
where bruises and bitemarks prove youre mine.
I begin the hands then make them complete,
They fit perfectly in mine with defeat.

And when I'm done I add in the details,
and I put my lips where my finger trails.
You're my work of art; my masterpiece,
You're prefectly done...youre now complete.

Author notes

"Please don't take me away from this place, just leave me here in my dreams... everything's perfect, I don't want to wake up, I just want to lie next to you in this bed, hear your heart beating... I need this feeling to last me forever and ever, oh God, don't let it end."-The Smashup

    A very sweet dedication. I enjoyed your rhyming in this and you did it very well. I liked the art reference, one that I have used myself, love is like art.. true perfection. Thanks for entering and good luck.

    My only problems have already been brought to light by AutumnsFlame and B Chandler. I do like this though. I would like to say that I do not see this the way some may have if they saw it as a write of unconditional love as I see it as one of possession. The fourth stanza is one I really thing gives this poem its unusual nature. The lines about the "bruises and bite marks" and hands fitting perfectly in yours "in defeat" really caught my attention. This is a good write, and good luck in my contest.

    Beautiful!

    I painted your eyes shades of Green and Gray,

    First off, if you need to insert apostrophes where needed when in concerns to contractions (I'm, We'll, etc.)

    This was a pretty good poem. I really liked it! Only problem---

    to show your lasting love for me
    I made our hearts to sync in beat.


    ^^^Those lines do not rhyme and they threw me off. Other than that, I liked this. Thank you for entering my contest and good luck.
