My dear heart, darling
Emerged from a canvas
You’re still wet in places
Cracks around yellow hair
You can hold me now
Open your arms, your shield
Love me, slow and true
We’ll make art together
You are alive, a dream
Made by me, for me
Perfect, in my imperfections
My clumsy hand, poor paint
Come to me, sinuous glide
I need to feel your scales
Sing to me, a siren call
I’ll drown in your watery depths
We will be eternal,
Forever preserved
My dear heart, darling
Emerged from a canvas
