Painting With Light

Take this poem, I want you to have Something of mine...

Something More than words,

But words alone Are the art I design.

When I sit down to write I picture you As a series of gestures, A palette of colours;

And you become A jumbled mosaic Of feelings—

Images Like tropical fish Swim in the bathysphere Inside my head;

They pixelate Coalesce... Into the idea of you.

And from this poetry I make a jewelry Of words for you,

Drawn From your essence To flash and burn with fire,

To glow brighter Than diamond stars;

Until all will see Even in darkest night,

How you bedazzle And sparkle With your own light.
