No artist am i

by Grant Gilbert AKA Slash   May 30, 2008


No artist am I

I am no painter so no paintings to do
But every line, every shadow and everything that is you
Every hair, every colour and all that you do
Is etched in my mind, till eternity too

I am not a singer, so no song can I sing
Or put into words the tune that you bring
With every move, every touch and every breath that you take
My heart strings are stirred, but I cannot relate

A sculptor I am not so no bust can create
Afraid I was destined to an ordinary fate
But to you my darling no justice could be done
By any substrate this side of the sun

No ink and no paint any justice could bring
To the picture I see when my heart starts to sing
No heavenly bodies to yours could compare
When you bare unto me and I picture you there

No blues can I sing or love serenades
But my universe complete when beside me you lay
No nightingales song or angel's choir
To your sensual voice could ever aspire

So this my sweet is my clumsy attempt
To tell you exactly how much to me you meant
So no painting, or song, or bust can I give
But this I can tell you, its for you that I live

    Well what can i tell you ,
    love is god way to tell us how weak us men are
    but same time lvoe can turn the dumbest man on earth into the smartest and the most expressionist poet in all time ,
    all that you say here is right
    and all that you express came out from my mouth ....

    great poem i will add it to my favorite
    5/5

    I love that. I love taking things like mind or heart and make something out of them or writting something on them. Anything like that I adore and you did it well.

    No nightingales song or angels choir
    angel's* since it's showing ownership, it's the choir that belongs to the angels.

    So no painting, or song, or bust can I give
    But this I can tell you, its for you that I live

    Awww it ended perfectly. :]

    The rhyming was great along with the words used to describe this girl.

    Excellent job. Five.
