I Paint Your Portrait
by Wendy Sparling
My brush paints your mood
across canvass stretched tight,
blending soft mist colors
of you this night.
Warm shades of tenderness,
trust we shall always share
I highlight your strength,
with bold strokes of care.
A mixture of rich colors
divided shades of midnight blue
a background of honesty,
silhouette of love so true.
My name adorns your portrait,
with flourish in fine frame,
I paint this poem for you,
and to show my love you claim.
