As a painting.... <br /> <br />He takes a precisioned brush <br />And paints vibrant hues into my world <br /> <br />As a beautiful sonnet... <br /> <br />His gold tipped pen <br />Suffuses the paper with eloquent words <br /> <br />As a perfect summer day... <br /> <br />He fills my skies with radiant blue <br />And escorts light into my life <br /> <br />As a lovely melody... <br /> <br />His voice brings pleasure to my auditory senses <br />Quelling and soothing in tone <br /> <br />As a friend.... <br /> <br />Being there always to listen and understand <br />To offer a hug or hold my hand <br /> <br />As a lover... <br /> <br />Knowing just how to touch, to tender such love <br />To speak without a word<br /><br />Lillian Jamison<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-a-man-should-be/
