An Artist's Affections

A painting by another name
Is just as beautiful
But art by another composition
Is uniquely aesthetic

And you, my dear
Are the fairest piece of art
I’ve ever laid my eyes on

A shape so divine
You cause the cruelest of critics
To bow before your beauty

The seductive silhouette of your soul
The captivating curvature of your vessel

Onlookers can’t help but stare
And who could blame them?

You are more than a sight for sore eyes
You are a cure for the blind

Serenade us with the sweet sounding symphony that is your voice
And you will leave even the deaf entranced

You are divine
You are ethereal
You are my muse

Be my canvas
And I shall paint you the perfect portrait of love
