Paint

Paint me reckless, with dotted eyes of unencumbered possibility, rouged blushes of flushed athletic extremes, paled hair that flows like waterfalls and broken valleys. Dream me loving, so that my gentle smile shines as bright as the waking sun, my womanly embrace is as comforting as the silent moon, eyes flash with consuming devotion, wide open and hoping for reciprocated picnics. Curl me 'round the shadow of your doubt, and I will be a voice of infinite confidence, booming with the power of the earth as it spins on before and after, the titled nonsense of nature, bringing you up to the skies before dropping you back into the hands of men. Stamp me goodness, with a golden halo of invisibility, heroes shine of selfless deceptive gratitude, blue quake of the ocean's roar, to sweep you away from dreams of darkness... into the burgeoning belly of the hydra, paint it homely, and within its stomach will become yours.

This poem was about not trying to dictate how a person is or who they are... but I'm not sure I captured that.
