if i had to paint her

if i had to paint her

if i had to paint her

my palate would be

the golden yellow wheat fields

waving in the Kansas wind

stretching as far

as the eye can see

yes, i might capture

the texture, color and scent

of her hair with these

if i had to paint her

my palate would be

the blue hues of the

Seven Seas

to capture the life

in her eyes

and

God's adoring of she

she need only glance at me

my heart skips a beat

i can love only she

if i had to paint her

my palate would be

the deep red of a rose for her lips

those tender lips, i yearn to kiss

if i had to paint her

my palate would be

silly Poet am i

katie sah

is more than any portrait can be

i hear her sigh

her voice

now laughter

oh, it's joy to my ears

her touch, her caress

i feel her deep love inside of me

finis
