because I am an artist:
I have mastered
methods to think him;
like a breath or blink
I repeat him; and in
the scrape of seconds
slung between dawn
and dusk, I paint his
hands as heat on me
but to write him
in a simple poem?
impossible.

this is a joyful, maybe sorrowful, little jewel. you think in metaphore and there is paint for hands and breath for eyes ... you may do all of him in this poem, but to make him a simple poem, never. but to write in a simple poem(?) the poem asks ... perhaps not, perhaps it is impossible, but it is possible to unveil light in the heart of the reader ... even the shadow of light can make a mark upon a stone wall if dark enough created by a light bright enough ...
excellent

Why thank you
You are on a reading roll tonight!

This is a beautiful piece of poetry ~ sensual and sublime. I am even left pondering the hue of the heat you paint ... though I've noticed turquoise is becoming popular on AP of late!
To think a man on Earth could be worthy of poetry such as this, places one question on the tip of my tongue ... "Does he have a twin brother?"
The end-lines are so poignant and profound ~~ for shadow and light, positive and negative (and too ... all things neutral), and with the constant scope for human change and revelation-by-time, a single poem to capture the entirety of another's soul would be more than one lifetime's work for even the most prolific of poets and lovers alike.
To summarise, Allyce, you have done it again.
Wonderful!

LOL Stuart!!
No, he does not have any brothers, lol. I will keep an eye out for you though 
Thanks

sometimes, it is impossible, yes.
i think you've put this feeling into words perfectly & so creatively here.
-
wow this is way excellent unable to pen but paint very nice work
-
Often a feeling I think we all have. Best to keep it unwritten. This is awesome
-
your style reminds me of my own. and thats not big headed i dont think but perhaps just an honest observation. i think i have picked something up from you.
writing about love is difficult. writing about someone who is too big and too important and too beautiful to fit into one poem is hard too. like... no poem will do them justice.
i love this

Excellent KMB Poetry

I love this, "painting his hads as heat on me" is vivid, unforgettable.
-
mastering the methods to think him are pretty easy for me. it's the writing them down that isn't... but for you, it seems that it is. you are wonderful with the how to & when to use the perfectly chosen words. any guy would wish to be the one you think of... and lucky one who actually is
-
sensuality at its finest. Yes, you are an artist.
-
Even though i know there is nothing or nobody you can't write in a poem, Allyce, i have to agree that some people are just harder to write - especially those from the male species
i so love the sensual undertones of this poem... it made me smile and lol, i so enjoyed the comments below!!
yes, you are an artist, and what an artist you are, lovely gogo!!

Why do you wrench ones' persona when you write a poem? lol...you are so good. I like the openness of this poem, the lingering love or lets say the hush of it.
Excellent as always.
-
I am going through a similar feeling right now... it was nice to read it.
I'm sure for you, nothing is impossible. But I know that nothing might feel adequate in your own eyes... ahhh? I'm tired, so I'm sorry for this sloppy compliment.
Good poem though!
"like a breath or blink
I repeat him"
is definitely a defining point!

I do so love picture cryptics lol I got it...*whispers...men are so dense sometimes This is as we would say 'downunder' shithot!

lol, omg, SHITHOT! Haven't heard that one in awhile! Thanks

You saucy lil' wench. I mean, you lovely lil' petal. 
-
I would like to start by saying those lips in your author notes are so sexy & so is the poem's alliteration
you are unquestionably an artist. so much so that you have stolen my heart and have me wishing my initials were MB
"I paint his hands as heat on me" lol i sense a theme...!
