a portrait of an artist as a young girl
a portrait of an artist as a young girl
I
I wish i were oil paint in your paintings
so that i could bump into many unusual universes
and with the other colours follow our own courses
i wish i were the canvas you paint
so that i could meet with your affectionate hands
and kiss your magical hands in every brushstroke
then you fill my empty soul in your every painting
so you create for me so different colourful worlds
II
lady!
everybody calls this a poem
but actually it is not.
in fact i am a poorly gifted artist
the words of whom are his paint
this is a painting of your portrait
can't you see your picture here?
there is a point you may ignore
paintings have not letters to read
