color me in

your colors seep into
every fiber of my being
once a blank slate,
now exalted by your light &
enhanced by your darkness,
i'm drawn into you

enraptured in your charm &
seduced by your smile,
you melt into the woven cloth
of my existence
sparing no blank space
no piece of me left without,
conquering all my doubt
i'm drawn into you

delicately you stroke
your pigments of intent
by blending hues of purpose
brushing onto me by steady hands
palms i want to hold
body to keep me warm
a soul held with promise
drawing with your eyes
you color me in

our bliss is the spotlight
that will shine on this
monument of you and me
in your corner, there i'll be
victoriously by your side
for this canvas that you cherish
where i will remain
drawn into you
