Painted

Knowing you so long
I could sketch your body
without looking
blind in the darkness
eyes closed
I could sculpt you like clay
feeling you in my soul
I could pencil you in
enclosed in my thoughts
easy as a paint-by-numbers kit

Oh, partner of mine
your face and form
your smooth hips and furrows
are painted on my mind
