That day when you spilled coffee-artwork, I scolded, then folded your blue, sorrow-eyes to my kiss
Are you looking for fresh spring or otherwise, colors for your canvas?
Check out her new line of paints here.
This canvas wears lessons of life; summer-winter
Morning-noon-night, fear-delight, hold-let go
Of laughter and loving and learning together
Capturing colors of home-sweet-sweet-home
Time’s touch-savor-treasure tints mute moment-measure
Honey, the money-jar is dry again
But we’re painting pictures that hang on Forever
Highlights of sunbeam and low-lights of rain
That day when you spilled coffee-artwork, I scolded
Then folded your blue, sorrow-eyes to my kiss
…forgiven innocence creating new colors
Merchants can never sell murals like this
Home; paint-chipped, life-scarred and hard soft-lipped
farewells
Forces fresh tincture, tear-silver, heart-blue
Onto a bold brush flushed with humble betrayals
Of tick and tock and what we thought we knew
A Trial-and-error portrait from life’s messes
Masterpieces no critic would approve
I wouldn’t trade it for anything, love
