By Quashauntai Tanyelle Travis

I'll paint my mood in shades of blue
paint my soul to be with you
i'll sketch your lips in shaded tones
draw your mouth to match my own

i'll draw you arms around my waist
and then all doubt i shall erase
i'll paint the rain that softly lands
on the crescents of your hand

i'll trace a hand to wipe your tears
a calming look to quell your fears
a silhoutte of dark and light
while we hold each other tight

i'll paint a sun to warm your heart
swearing that we'll never part
i'll paint the stars of evening's sky
and draw the light into your eyes

i'll draw a striking touch of grace
that shows the gentleness of your face
i'll trace your hand to hold in mine
touching to mark the passage of time

i'll draw the years all passing by
so much to learn, so much to try
i'll paint the truth, show how you feel
try to make you completely real

i'll use a brush so light so fine
to draw you close and make you mine
and with this ring our lives will start
swearing that we'll never part

i offer love you cannot buy
devoted loved... until we die.
