A soul laid bare

A canvass laid bare calls
out for a lover’s touch,
longing for the caress
of bristle and brush.

A tentative stroke. Gentle caresses
turn passionate and eager,
until reaching crescendos
that burgeon over with fever.

Pores slaking up greedily
emotions wash-ed over flesh,
coming at last to a completion
that’s half birth and half death.

Sated on muddy palette lay
dewy strands of soft sable hair.
A full canvass, unvarnished
for a soul that’s laid bare.

Note: I’ll define some of the painting references so both meanings are clear to all, though many may not care about the artist angle. Lol!

Wash: dilute
Pallett: color mixing surface
Soft sable hair: brush type
Varnish: protective coat

"half birth and half death"

You so nailed it, right there.

Beautiful. You have so many layers to this. Using the soul instead of the body for a theme lifts my thoughts and response to the art that we call life and the art of shared experience. Intimate, erotic and beautiful.

On the other hand I am just a coach with no clue about art. So if this is about favorite breakfast foods, animals in danger of extinction or the obvious advantages of Indiana as a vacation location then ignore my earlier comments.

Seriously, amazing writing!

I didn’t realize anyone had posted. Lol!

48- Pornography was not the initial intent, but once half written I decided to roll with the double entendres. blushing

MelissaSue - I like it too...and tend to recycle the theme in most of my attempts at poetry. Lol! Thanks. flowerforyou

Coach- You’re being kind and I appreciate it. You’re always kind. Thank you for the encoraging comments. Very sweet of you. waving

And just in case you’re serious, it’s an emotional point of view of the painting process from start to finish. Lol!
