Painting You With Words -

Delightful Diversions II

“With delicate brushstrokes
on her canvas serene,
delightful diversions
as playful hearts convene.”

Painting You With Words

“Contemplating every contour,
carefully studying such splendid symmetry,
then composing heartfelt sentiments
in fanciful inventive imagery.”

Your Light Shines Bright

“Every sense in me takes notice,
your smiling face constantly aglow.
How radiant your form,
you just don’t realize,
you must not know.”

You Have To Know

“Your heart felt always close to me,
then life got in the way.
Some unexpected heartache came,
but in all truth,
you, I could never blame.”

Everyday Excitement

“This meeting of the minds
requires no formal action,
just conversant lips absorbed
in soft and warm distraction.”

I Thank My Lucky Star

“Our lucky stars determined,
and they probably had a clue,
that it would take some extra time
for me to find my way to you.”

Connection Perfection

“Two imperfect lives
destined for one another.
Perfectly content
trusting fully in each other.”

""And now from across the table we catch up and remember when. You had to know that I loved you so, even way back then.""

From my original signature poem "You Have To Know"

About Chris

Welcome to Painting You With Words. I am Chris Wood and a Texas boy from Dallas! I have just started writing passionate poetry again in the last several years. My recent years have been spent in the consulting world related to web applications, streaming media and software technology. I also served at Southern Methodist University in Dallas for 12 wonderful years as a full time university chaplain and minister. Most of my close friends tell me that I probably get a little too clever sometimes for my own good! I will do my best to write from my heart. I hope you enjoy my original poetry.

What I Do

I will be sharing my original poetry and possibly spotlighting the works of other contemporary poets. My focus will be on romantic love and playful passionate poetry.
