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
