Poem #14

You remind me of art

Like a biblical scene painted by Rembrandt, like Vision of Zacharias’

Or a powerful picture captured by Ansel Adams, like Bridalveil Fall

Or a Frank Sinatra serenade, like The Way You Look Tonight

Classic like a European roadster, like a ‘61 Jaguar E

Or a cinematic masterpiece, like Singin’ in the Rain

Sculpted to perfection, like a Buonarroti in Rome

Woven intricately, like a Stölzl with all the colours

This mellifluous love is inquisitive

Delving into every uncertainty

But victorious on every occasion

Because you always have the time for me

And it’s always the place I want to be, in your company

We’ll be holding hands, strolling through the park

With your blue eyes piercing the dark

And I want secret desserts in the middle of the night,

Picnics on grounds we’ll remember for life,

Train rides to places we’ll immortalise,

And to watch a million movies, then listen to all the lines you’ll memorise

I know you’d work your fingers to the bone

To make sure I never forget your love

And keep me laughing

Because it’s finally happening

I’m deciding to trust this feeling

And I’m banking on forever this time
