CHANGING HUES

I want to sit with you

talk with you

become you

share your passion

your life

I want to share experiences

no ulterior motives

highs and lows

anything goes

just let me

pour a glass of wine

dip my finger

into the red liquid

of your heart

trace your lips

stained with the

hurt and pain

of your life

let me

quench your thirst

for freedom

freedom from the mundane

the haggard

sucking life’s air

blackened spirits

let me

exorcise

lurking demons

holding you prisoner

let me

free you from the cells

replace the bars

with windows

of my heart

let us

sit and watch

the setting sun

rising

day to night

night to day

nature’s canvas

let us

paint the sky with new colours

reds and yellows

brilliant hues

no blues

let us

hold the brush

at both ends

both hands

our hands

stroking our

centres

brushstrokes

colour within the lines

blend outside

let us

become living art

the master becomes the student

the student

trades places

with the master

painting by numbers

oils slide

mixing

salty streaks

heats the surface

burn the covers

contracts dissolve

fresh inks applied

let us

create our masterpiece
