adore my beauty
before it grows old
look into my eyes
before they grow cold
undress your body
before I go blind
tell me you love me
without lying
kiss my lips
before they go dry
give me a reason to live
**before I die

My heart beats,
To the rhythm of drums,
It's life.

It scares me
to know that I loved someone
three years ago
and feel the same no longer,

that you love me now
and perhaps
a year from now
love someone else.

beware when you fall in love
with an artist
be it a painter, a singer, or poet

for the artist will
paint you
with strokes and hues
in shapes of every kind

sing about you
with heartbreak lyrics
and feelings which rhyme

write about you
with the simplest words
and a secret message she wants to say

beware of the artist,
and her love
one wrong move
and you're an artwork in her display
