Watercolor “Seeking the Light” by Steve Hanks with great appreciation.
Painting You With Words
You never seem to mind when
I splatter you with flattery,
or cover you in a kaleidoscope
of complimentary colors.
You’re the most pleasing palette,
perfectly posed without complaint,
commanding focus and concentration
with no concern for my constraint.
I love to trace your figure
with a deliberate artistic touch,
committing you to memory,
so well versed in every line.
Contemplating every contour,
carefully studying such splendid symmetry,
then composing heartfelt sentiments
in fanciful inventive imagery.
By any definition you’re beyond
most logic and description,
by design I live to paint you
with expressive imagination.
To portray your essential essence
requires no explicit shade or hue,
just colorful strokes of genius brushed
from my admiring point of view.

A note from Chris
I now consider this piece to be my signature poem. I purposely crafted a lot of alliteration into this work and I love the word pictures that are painted in the poem. Hopefully there will be a book published sometime in the near future! I wonder what that book could possibly be entitled.

This is one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing.
Millie, I would have to say that I was definitely inspired and most deliberate in my intent while painting these words. Thanks so very much for your kind comments!
