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
