Colour Me Beautiful

The instant the sun kisses the horizon

before drowning in night and sea,

use me as your canvas

and colour me beautiful.



1 stroke, 2 stroke, 3 strokes

drawn to perfect each physical flaw.



Romance has a way of captivating

every hesitant lover

taken prisoners of their own vice.



1 candle, 2 candle, 3 candles

lit to burn a few morsels of tension.



Fires dwindle away

leaving the remains they were born by,

    (ashes to ashes, dust to dust)

the ruins that always find their way

to the bottum of the ocean.



Just one, two, 3 more drinks

and I might indulge in a swim at dusk.
