When I Paint Your Picture
(c) 2022, W. R. Cantrell, Jr.

I approach my easel and I look upon your form
As I scan the canvas, I’m drawn to your charm
Then I mix the paints and I push them on the brush
You ask to see my progress and I ask you what’s the rush

When I paint your picture
I see you in my mind
When I paint your picture
I leave the world behind

When I paint your picture
I can’t wait to start
When I paint your picture
I can feel you in my heart

You’ve been sitting there for hours at a time
But I was painting you from the image in my mind
You ask if I am done and I ask if you could wait
I sit back and reflect on the picture I create

When the paint has dried and its time to unveil
I hope my love for you is finally revealed
This chapter has ended and I hope for for a thousand more
Our message in a bottle has landed on an open shore
