They say a picture is worth a thousand words and I'm looking to make murals in your likeness
Something that would reflect how truly beautiful your soul is to me
Maybe a watercolour based painting or would pastel-coloured chalk do?
Should I focus on the brightest hues and play down darker tones?
But your darker side is the part of you I love most.
Let's play with the lighting;
shadows and rays make one more aware
I'd love to create a backdrop, possibly a place you feel most vulnerable and bared
The limitless possibilities, the mediums and the inspiration you bring me
Perhaps barring your soul is a tad too blasé?
Let's dig deeper and find something more suitable for your mural
How about an impression?
How I feel about you?
Oh my, that is personal...
yet entirely too brilliant to ignore!
I could just go on and make a mural that much clearly expresses how I feel about you
The way you talk, the way you walk;
That particular smile and glint in your eyes
when something intrigues you
and you're up to no good.
Ah, the marvelous mystery I have yet to uncover that is you!
But the fun is no doubt in trying to capture your essence
Ah, here I go prattling on and on about mysteries and emotions,
I'll get to work and I'll set up my drafts and display them to you...
The Mural will be breathtaking.
but of course, not as fascinating as you.

"They say a picture is worth a thousand words and I'm looking to make murals in your likeness"
I hope I did it justice.
