I hadn't fallen in love with a subject painted Until you took form one brushstroke at a time I painted with mineral spirits and dirt, water As varnish; I left my signature as my creation "Romance me with iambs," you deer-panted To be held in a trance, therefore I used romantic Language I foreknew you'd understand Yet you only saw me the jealous king We expect God with an immature, superficial love Just like ours; how can he love when he knows Not my deepest regrets If omniscient and if I count My petals, will he love me still or just wilt "Romance me with iambs," you deer-panted To be held in a trance, therefore I used romantic Language I foreknew you'd understand Yet you only saw me the jealous king You expected to remain a still life versus My image reflected in you, jealous towards all You thought me envious towards your identity But jealousy was never quite your accepted reality Because the father despises when delinquents Wilt his daughter's love, and the husband Abhors a rival peering with bedroom eyes They both know to protect their lover's heart None can love as I do. All I ever wanted Was for all to see your beauty, yet you Thought I wanted a trophy wife to be My eye candy, a means to an end I want a mother to my children A lover to accept my grace, to turn From two-dimensional canvas to spouse
