Painting You

I’d like to paint you

On the eyes of others

In colors that exist only in my mind

And bring out a little of the beauty inside you

I’d paint your mousy hair a new shade of gold

I’d paint those eyes the bluest blue

I’d make your skin glow

In my own rainbow of colors…

I’d fix that busted knee

That crooked smile

Those callused hands

And let the world see the man I see

The man I love

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This poem isn't about trying to make someone fit my ideals.  It's about wanting everyone around me to shed their standards of and see the man for what he is.
