The paintbrush sits on pale skin
and slides scarlet over kissing plain
it touches and presses
like time
and strokes the distance
between my fingers and my desire.
Eyelids close and a breath is taken…..
slowly
a small movement,
a perfumed step
The paintbrush leaves the skin
hair by hair
and patience tempers the dancing
in my chest
I am the night
and now,
my body is full of stars…….
Beautiful!

The beauty of this poem is that you can feel it. It is almost a picture rather than words…

Hi,
I did a lot of painting, but never used a brush like that. I painted the kitchen, the bathroom, my gardenshed, and so on. But,…I am not without imagination. Good that I am nearly 80 years old. Otherwise I would not be able to keep my emotions in check. Great job though. Smooth as silk. You are worthy of your chosen name, The Silver Poet.
Thank you for liking the birthday poem to my son. Great news today. Nick became an Equity Partner in his lawfirm. Not bad for a young forty year old.
