Poetry: "Artist" (3.24.13)


Artist

The flat, broad canvas

of  your body

calls to me.

Come.

Let me paint

my love upon it,

imprint my desire.

I’ll sear your

wooden heart

with love’s graffiti,

I’ll sign my name

in your border,

I will mark you

mine.

Let me breathe

my soul into you,

make pliant flesh

of your marble joints.

Be this artist’s

greatest creation

decorated for all time

in lustful hues.
