I want to love an artist
A creative thinker
A frequent dreamer
I want to love a painter
Who will splash color
Onto the canvas of my life
With just imagination
And a paintbrush
I want to love a writer
Who can create a whole world with words
And show me how to add more life
To my story
I want to love a musician
Who will add music to my life
And sing a love song only I can hear
I want to love a sculptor
Who will see every curve of my body
As a work of art.
The shape of me held in hands
So careful not to break
I want to love a sketcher
Who will capture my essence
With the shadows and lines on my face
And will understand why there’s a glimmer in my eyes
I want to love a chef
Who will turn a need into an art
And won’t be afraid
To taste
I want to love a designer
Who can find the right colors to bring me to life
And cover me in a love that fits just right
I want to love an artist
Settle down into the unconscious
The beautiful, the unexplored
We’ll talk about life as an art
and have children who
see shapes in the shapeless
and colors in the wind
And even when it ends we’ll know we lived.
