Click hereYour body is my canvas
and my fingers
are the bristles of the brush
the places I’ve touched you
changing color
in gentle strokes and swirls
I long to step back
and hold you in the light
examining every detail
searching
for the tiniest spot
my paintings may have missed
and failing to find
a place without hue
to lay you down
lick you clean with turpentine tongue
and begin anew.

McKennaalmost 19 years agoI was especially fond of the alliteration in this one. "Bristles/brush; strokes/swirls; failing/find; turpentine/tongue." I like poems that play subtle games with the lips and tongue. Nicely done. The imagery the peom creates is clear and the tone is very evocative of wistfulness tempered by distance.
~hellbaby~almost 19 years agoThis is great, I really like the image you 'paint'. Turpentine tongue~ it's open to interpretation, making the third read as enjoyable as the first two.Thanks
Dar~almost 19 years agoI really liked the artist's implementation of the body as a tool of art. Very nice poem.
