My Heart

My heart was an empty canvas,
devoid of all color and feeling.
Then you stepped up,
and after viewing it from
all angles, added pixel upon pixel,
filling it up.

Tortured blues of missing each other..
Sparkling yellows of our laughter..
Vibrant reds of our love for each other..
Deep violets of our shared passion..
Colors and emotions that know no words..

And there hangs my heart
in the beautiful gallery of
our memory, your name
a ribbon around it,
proclaiming to all the world
the artist who brought me to Love.
