A warm sensation washes through me
Like paint melting
The kind of feeling
That only the blessed experience

A once in a lifetime
Surprise party of sensation
Deep strokes of soft, smooth bristles

Vivid color -- the opposite of white
Milky textured chocolate and yet so light
Glossy reflections of a love so complete.

I know this love is real
Not fleeting
It is the foundation

I have waited forever
Wash me again and again
Like children in the summer

Water droplets
Dazzling and brilliant
The paint does not run
Colors of life flash before me.

My love for you is easy
I shudder as you kiss me in the sunlight
A warm sensation washes through me
It is time to call it a day now

The smell of paint barely lingers.

I have waited forever.
