i can be ur canvas for u to paint me as i’m getting undressed
my baby doll face is smooth and my porcelain body fragile to the brush
but i believe that in the right hands i could be made into a work of art
so hold me in ur arms and hide me from the sun that’s scorching and hot
let’s dive into an azure ocean and forget who we really are
live for true love that we crave deep inside
i am urs baby and u are just mine

u’re my dear muse- always on my mind
we belong in the louvre yet we’re ahead of our time
it’s only u and me that matter in my life
and as long as u’re nearby i’m grateful i’m alive
i live for this feeling and maybe i’m just so in love
like an unreasonable dreaming child
with a prolonged monologue fastened firm to my motley heart
so in love i live ur life instead of mine that’s alluringly benign and divine and
i live us and i love my life
but that’s really nothing bad
u know- choosing compelling fantasy over plain reality is one of the few things
i’m glad i’ve done
when i see u in the sun i feel calm
i imagine the waves composing a song that plays over me thinking:
i am where i belong
and that’s in ur arms
u know darling- when u have enough of this world
why don’t just get lost in something pristine
with someone u truly love?

my longing of highways- of moonlight that’s soft
living free
love is all i’ve got

i draw stars with baking powder on the stove like a painter on a drawing board
scatter cinnamon on ur sweet face
tilt towards ur glossy lips that taste like lush cherries grown in summer haze
but there’s no haste- none of that
i suppose we all know art requires time and passion or else it may fade
only pleasure never tension
i’m open for interpretation
i’m pretty in ur eyes and i stay pretty just for u
i cry at night and i blur paint laid below my watery eyes but u say it’s alright-
i listen to u
so decorate me how u want- pin glittery stars to my lemon blond hair
paint daisies and dandelions in prime on my face cause they’re my favorite flowers
and i love the way they smell
ornament me with great diligence and angelic emotion
pour urself onto me
all ur colors and their shades
we have all the time in the world
we have love as strong as no one has

i promise i will be ur canvas
paint me as i lay my head on ur chest and as it’s dimming down and sun sets
let’s get loose and jive on a watercolor painted lawn
shift astray and thrive like grapevines climbing monet beach house walls
