desperate to look
so many times denied
forced to steal my subject
by memorizing lines
an ever pregnant brush
inspired and alive
put lines down on the canvas
but never captured life
so when you asked
i did not understand
i could not grasp
the task at hand
i simply started painting you
seducing me so still
and truth lept off the canvas
completely without will
Foolish, me.
tossing on this shifting sea
to think I could portray
without the paint involving me

Beautifully said Melanie..I think you and I should do a trade of some sort. You like the beads..I like the metal work a couple of posts down. what say you? :-)
D, I say we do it! Are you talking about the twisted piece of copper, bronze and silver? I can mail you that particular mess---or let me know if there is something else for which you'd rather trade.
Surely you know I love glass inspired by the ocean....
