Perfect Canvas for my Poetry



The sun has kissed you a thousand times or more
And the soft breeze embraces you each night
I envy them for I wish it was me basking in your charm,
I could only wish but my heart's desire is undeniable
If only wishes could come true, I have a million to make

The ocean has caressed you tender and sweet
The moon has been a witness to your dazzling smile
The wind has heard your laughter and I envy them
For I pray you would grace me even with your gazes
But I can only have you in my lucid fantasies

Perhaps these words don't mean deeply to you
Perhaps there will never be a chance to utter them
This heart yearns to be heard and I'll only say it once
You are the perfect canvas for my art
Let me paint you with my endless poetry

When I start to scribble words on your skin
Know that I won't hold back the poems from spilling
I'll engrave these words with kisses and caresses,
Take my sweet time to create a masterpiece of a lifetime
'Cause you are the perfect canvas for my poetry...
