You Are the Brush that Paints My Dream
by Ray

I want to write about you

because that is the color of my day.

You are the brush

that creates the beauty in my life.

I have willingly submitted my heart to you

as a canvas because of the tenderness

I have witnessed in your hands.

I have prostrated myself naked before you

because I have tasted the love in your eyes...

knowing full-well that the stroke of your brush

will influence the way my world looks tomorrow.

 

The canvas of my soul has images

of days I would like to forget.

I have sketched the memories with you

so you know who I am

and the brushes that I have been exposed to.

Your love has numbed the hurt of the past.

My eyes are ready to discover new territory with you.

 

All I am saying is "Here I am.

I am yours, paint away...

I surrender my heart to your hands."

Your specialness has made me intoxicated with love,

and I want more.
