http://www.sapphyr.net/images/jimwarren-mothernature.jpgI keep my paint brush with me
wherever I may go,
in case I need to cover up,
So the real me doesn't show.
I'm so afraid to show you me,
afraid of what you'll do,
that you may laugh or say mean things,
I'm afraid I might lose you.


I'd like to remove all my paint coats
to show you the real, true me,
But I want you to try and understand,
I need you to accept what you see.
So if you'll be patient and close your eyes,
I'll strip off all my coats real slow.
Please understand how much it hurts
to let the real me show.


Now my coats are all stripped off,
I feel naked, bare and cold.
And if you still love me with all that you see,
http://www.sapphyr.net/images/rosephotopink.gif you are my friend, pure as gold.


I need to save my paint brush, though,
and hold it in my hand.
I want to keep it handy
in case somebody doesn't understand.
So please protect me, my dear friend
and thanks for loving me true.
But please let me keep my paint brush with me
Until I love me, too.

Nice picture, interesting poem! At first I thought that it might have been one of your spirit drawings but now I see that it is done by another artist.

not my art, or my poem, I just found it and thought I'd share, it is lovely.

Perfect Timing!!!!

I love the artwork and poem RP.........sometimes I feel the painting palette is missing a few colors from time to time :rolleyes:

Amazing and inspirational poem! Thanks for posting it, made me realize how much I miss writing. And it's so true about how you want to hide and never show yourself!

this is poem truly speaks to me. I really like it, I may be putting this in my AIM profile :D
It describes just how I feel, especially with this certain person (who I never see any more any way :(, except in my dreams all the time )

thank you for sharing it!
