Infusion

 

 

 

 

 

 

I stand before you
in half light;
my life an empty canvas,
unblemished, untouched



words would add blush, tint;
a background on which to build layers



each touch, each stroke
would add depth,
pressure would give texture


each kiss, a little colour
your breath would blend
and merge seamlessly


I take shape, form,
become created,



your love would give tone -
light and shadow
your thoughts
- a beating heart




the Masters pale beside you
you have the power - take it


infuse this still life -



with passion

  • Wow, such gorgeous and graceful
    images of the passion unearthed
    in your write.

    This was so cleverly crafted.

    Best of luck & thanks for entering

  • Your free verse of late has been superb, this is deep and thoughtful with a lovely punch to polish it off.

    Great stuff all round

  • WOW!

    Just as I was calming done for the night, I come across this lovely, breath-taking poem! You paint with words as well as your poem's subject apparently brings your "still life" to color with passion! Another fine work, Sue. Lita

  • Hi Sue---I'm still trying to get used to you writing in Free Verse because you spoiled me with your history of excellent Rhyme!
    Very Well Done & Best of Luck in the contest!

      I still have a long way to go to make my free verse as strong as my rhyme ... so I will always be practicing.
      Thanks for the continued support.

    I love this. You are now as skilled at free verse as you are at rhyme! Wonderful!
