Delightful Diversions II

“With delicate brushstrokes on her canvas serene,
delightful diversions as playful hearts convene.
A stroke of genius, this portrait in view,
capturing memories as we paint something new.”

Island Interludes

“We wandered slow, where breezes played,
through meadow paths and coastal glade.
Your hand in mine, no need to pace,
just breath and time in nature’s grace.”

Where Journeys Lead Me Now

“And there you are, beside me once again,
your sparkling eyes, as beautiful as then.
Your radiant smile always shining through,
and for a moment, I am there with you.”

Cosmic Mischief

“Stargaze moments,
cosmic wonders,
one heavenly night.
Let us marvel,
launch lunar flights,
Gemini’s in sight.”

Our Summer Serenade

“Moonlit night, holding hands, tart lemonade.
Dancing girl, makes me smile, slow promenade.
Summer sparks, lips meet mine, so unafraid.
Hold you close, nuzzle neck, scent’s serenade.”

Their Secret Woods

“He wanders woodland paths alone,
with no clear destination near,
where every step invites the heart
to linger longer without fear.”

You Have to Know

“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.”

Two Hearts, Tenderly Tangled

“We learned to tangle hearts with care,
not tightly bound, yet deeply shared.
Steadfast, present, and aware,
our hearts open and prepared.”

Dancing in Moondust

“The heavens hum a gentle tune,
our rhythm sways beneath the moon.
With every turn, the cosmos sings,
and wraps us in its woven rings.”

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.”

To Love And Be Loved By You

“They happen fresh and new
Our adoring ways
Meant just for me and you
Enshrine these treasured loving days”

Waiting For Your Sign

“Each morning I still look—
past branches, past the glass,
hoping for that scarlet spark
to break the quiet mass
of time that feels unending.”

""We’d trace the stars and give them names, inventing myths and timeless games. Your laughter spins through midnight blue, you’re still dancing in the world we knew.""

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.
