Canvas

Canvas

 

I kiss your eyes

They leave warm oil taste

On my lips

.

I wonder

Will your canvas

Ever dry

?

This is one of the most brilliant things you've ever written that I've read. Usually I do not like short poems becuz I WANT MORE! To me, a short poem is successful when it conjures up a vivid extended series of visions in the reader's mind (in effect, GROWING the little poem into big ideas). That's exactly what this poem does. So many avenues to ponder, after you've set up this brief painting analogy (((NUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Neville]

Blimey Margie, how flippin kind is that, or wot..Bloomin mahoosively that's wot... NUGS a plenty wingin their way back to ya N :)

Pygmalion come to life with a kiss...love the brevity and passion of your words and the image they evoke. Her canvas is forever young, forever spring. Yes!

[Neville]

Thank you ever so my dear Annette...you are most kind and correspondingly always and muchly appreciated... and forever spring would be summat wouldn't it x

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

As you are Neville my friend. Your words are so meaningful to me. I thank you from my deepest heart- and yes it would! Xo

[Neville]

and just for that.... I'm gonna thank you again .... thank you again Annette N :) x

[Cherrie Palmer]

Passionate anticipation penned so richly.

[Neville]

Now that'll do nicely.. very nicely indeed.. x

[Samuel Dickens]

This seems more literal than metaphorical, but I know it could be either or both. It is known that some artists become so involved in a painting that reality blurs. Perhaps, in this case, one-half of a relationship is waiting for the other to drop their facade.

[Neville]

One of the reasons I fell in love with poetry is because it does not always need a good poet to set peoples imaginations alight.. of course, it does help but as long as the reader has an imagination, they can make even a mediocre scribbler appear to be their own personal bard... Many thanks indeed Samuel my friend... Neville

Her canvas is filled with warm and tender imprints of your lips...
with your writings, you start a chain of thoughts
that will paint pictures of never ending reflections.

[Neville]

[Mrudula Rani]

Dear Neville, Your wonderfully exhilarating words are magical and inspire us all, so nice to see you back my friend.

[Neville]

Few but enigmatic words. Could be empathic, could be passionate.. could be both? You seem to be setting riddles these days - not that there's anything wrong in that. Think I might think about this poem, wonder at the thoughts behind it!

[Neville]

Thinking never did nobody no harm.. I think.. and nor did thanking.. so I thank thee kindly & true.. N

[emmajoy]

Smiling at you thinking - head on palm.. a touch of Rodin'a statue. Thank you.

ooooo lots of pictures crossed my mind reading this.

love the mixed metaphor of the oil painting, the kiss, the canvas which could be full of tears...or perspiration...sensuality jumps out from the frame of this.
