Paint Me Rose & Blue
touch me i
become the flower
fragile pastel rose of blue
infinite shapes and turns
petals
rearrange at will
the music
remembers roots
red and navy blue
sacrificing
now
flesh responds
softly brushing
rose & blues
out of blackness
light returns
it is the Painter
painting love
that touches
me
