MAY I PAINT YOU?

May I paint your beauty and capture in a frame and take you along

to be away with you , far from this maddening crowd ;

though my journey was a search, search for the pure,

now I wander aimlessly no more,

Now I can treasure you my way, in my colour.

Want to colour your cleavage,  your lovely ravine.

which colour of water will suit your bosom divine?

Wanted to paint you in stars and blooms,

Alas! black tried to mar, but the bright colours overshadowed the gloom..
