My Inspiration

If I could paint a picture,
	I'd paint a portrait of you
Filled with beautiful colours
	Gold, Silver and Blue

You'd be my Mona Lisa
	My great work of art
Although I'd rather be known 
	As the man who stole your heart

But a portrait could not hold you
	Could not imitate your life
I could work for ten million years 
	And still not get it right

If I were a sculptor
	I'd create a statue of you
A statue so magnificent
	For all the world to see

I'd carve your likeness into stone
	Putting in every minute detail
From the delicate shape of your fingers
	To the texture of your hair

Yet a statue could not capture
	The brilliance of your soul
Could not copy your spirit 
	That truly makes you whole

If I could write a song
	I'd write a symphony for you
All the musical instruments 
	Playing in harmony for you

The song would be as sweet as bells
	As sweet as your own voice
The world would fall in love with you
	And it would be by choice

And though the song may express easier
	The way I really feel
There is still something missing 
	Something just not real

So I write to you this poem
	To show how much I care
You've been so kind to me
	And you've always been there

Although you can not be depicted
	In any form of art
I just wanted to let you know
	I love you with all my Heart
