Paint me in Pastels by *thenonartist:iconthenonartist:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Romantic > Teen or Young Romance > Open




Dip your hands
Into primordial colours
Used to paint
All that came before

Draw me up
On a perfect canvas
So that I may know
What you want from me

Picture me beautiful
If only in your eyes

Take out a sponge
To blot out white space
Though only if you
Find it to be annoying

Use thin brushes
To touch upon
The finer points
If you must

Picture me lovely
If only in your eyes

Resort to oils
Or perhaps acrylics
If that is your tastes
For the current season

Chromas are longer lasting
But if you find them
A little bit bold
Then tempera will have to do

Just picture me perfect
If only in your eyes

Really not much that I can say on this one. I was just playing about with this new Open Canvas that *Belldandirah sent to me and was struck with this by the water colours tool. And, wouldn't you know it, I used that random water colour doddle as a new preview image. Really, it's not the best but it fits into the poem so I'll not bother with trying to make it any better.

Companions the creator seeks, not corpses, not herds and believers. Fellow creators the creator seeks - those who write new values on new tablets. Companions the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters; for everything about him is ripe for the harvest.

i loved the emotion in this poem. i also liked how you used just about every kind of paint i've ever heard of in it.
"Draw me up
On a perfect canvas
So that I may know
What you want from me" really stood out to me though. it sums up love and relationships (particularly when they get old and you seem to lose the magic you had in the beginning) perfectly without overdoing it.

very nice poem!

i want to buy your prints.
"je t'aime davantage que n'importe quoi." translates to "this is totally lame in english, so i said it in french."

:nod: It took me a while to find all of those different kinds and I'm sure I didn't even scratch the surface, but I really wanted to add as much art into as I could given the topic of the work.
