Oh to be the art being loved, not the artist in love

I love in deep waves
Pulling back out of fear
Pushing towards them, with a revering adoration

I see people in the way artist create paintings
Authors write novels
I see their hurt
Their secrets
Highest hopes
Lowest points

I take every red flag and bleach it white
And use the very ink of myself to repaint them

I see the perfection in their faults
The beautiful crafted mess of
Emotions
Fears
Dreams

I see them paint the area around them
Paint brilliant yellows of joy
Deepest blue of regrets
They make the world their canvas

I am a mere painter gazing upon the art of which my muse creates
That shifts
And never stays them same
Never bores
Always captures my attention

I add in dashed of color
A sprinkle of words
To brighten up the space
To watch every emotion unfold
Write up descriptions that fall short of their brilliance
Guide the paint stokes

Admire
Love
Devote hours
Days
Months
Years
To them
Pour myself into them 

While there may be skipped lines
Parts that evolve
Parts that get painted over
The image still remains the same
The image of
Beauty
And
Brilliance
