Terribly Poetic

All throughout the night
I wanted to see a twinkle,
A gleaming hope of
Love in that light
Something to touch and
To instill an image an
Art painted, with that same
Light.
On the canvas of life
Something was imprinted
What I thought I saw was only
An etching, scratched on the
Surface.
But I saw a masterpiece.
Something far more wonderful
And amazing. Mere utterances
About this canvas convey nothing
It is a new realm of love displayed
On my canvas.
Once the canvas was old and
Beaten, but now it is renewed and fresh
Together with your paint
And my canvas
It has left a masterpiece
To richen both soul and spirit.
