wash warm hues, gentle brush
across a heart forgotten.
it’s soft caress no sadness lingers
renew it’s every fray and tear.
create a masterpiece, my lovely
erase all coloring of fear.
nuance streamed light and shadows
our layered texture, sweet romance.
and devote each waking minute
as Monet with Lily Pads.
