Paint Me Sexy With Your Words
64
Click below to hear me read this poem.
I should not need to hear I’m beautiful
But alas, there is no beauty until its judged
No hideousness for that matter
Its the beholding that makes it so
So I wait, like a canvas waits for pigment
Adjectives to change blank cloth to color
Splatter flattery across my skin
Then watch as it slowly seeps in
I become as vibrant in demeanor
As the adulation whispered here
Why would you deprive me
The compliments your thinking
To do so leaves me pale and insecure
Please paint me sexy with your words
Color me with a kaleidoscope of compliments
In them I will find my confidence
You like the curve of my hip? Tell me.
My eyes like emeralds, did I hear you say?
And my bottom lip you murmur
leads you to distraction
The softness of my neck makes you sigh
Now I’m warmed by your reaction
If only I could bathe in every luscious phrase
immersing my self in your sweet attention
For only under your discerning gaze
Will I become what you see in me
Oh sweet talk, you crave it too?
Shall I share, how delicious I find you?

Why thank you. And thank you for always being so generous with your photos.
nice poem and so true
Beautiful, my dear friend. And yes, it's a lovely picture of you!
Thanks Brenda!
And Chris nobody knew it was me...
Okay...so I'm out of touch. You could delete my comment, you know.
Beautiful word, loved it.
Words too poor a vehicle to express your loveliness, Randy. A picture, they say, is worth a thousand?
I could never delete you, Chris! :)
Thanks Jewels. Haven't seen you in ages.
Is the picture upstaging my poem Tom?
Greetings BC. Nice to see you're back.
I love the way the further into the poem I read,the more fluid it became. What a wonderful marriage of thoughts in this. Now I know why the photo is so perfect, too. Thanks for letting the Cat out of the bag, Chris. Mind you it was the first thing I thought. =]
Lol, BC.
Hi Frieda! I'm glad you enjoyed this one.
Randy, this is sooo good. I'm always breaking my neck to get to your poems. They are so well-written, so meaningful, and so unique..Thank you, again.
Wow Alekhouse, what a sweet comment. I dare say you made my morning. :)
mmmm, hot and sexy poem like always... I was drifing away for a moment... Nice pitcure RB.
You are beautiful my friend!! We shall all tell you together!
i Love it! lol it was incredible and the pic of you is beautiful! lol, nature may be beauty, but you are a natural beauty... lol i know cheesy line
Shamel I'm glad you approve and thank you.
Thanks Candie. I think rdfrank's photo is getting more notice than my poem!
Thank for coming by and commenting Needs a Break! I am a fan of cheese. :)
This is a great poem that flows from thought to thought very natuarally. Plus the message is strong. I loved it. Oh, the picture is ok too. :)
Wesley I'm glad you say it flows, as this one was on my desk top in bits and pieces for a month. Thanks for commenting!
I especially love these lines!
Splatter flattery across my skin
Then watch as it slowly seeps in
Beautifully spoken!
Sweet words, Randy. -sigh- if I had the same reasons to write words of desire those would be the words I'd use 'Paint me sexy!' You just have to teach me this sensuality with words...I'll keep reading, and learning. Pic is sweet =D Randy you are a doll!
Thanglynn07 nice to meet you! Thanks for the lovely comment.
Hi AIDY! Gosh this poem came from insecurity. Surely you don't want to learn anything about that. You my dear are the doll.
Randy, I love the slow burn of the poem. The ending is only as good as the build up. And I loved the ending!
I'm glad you enjoyed this Carson. I think men are just as hungry for compliments as women. Am I right?
You got it Randy. I think it's assumed that men take care of their own ego's. That's mostly true but we still need to know we're "the one".
Okay, RB. This is my favorite poem by you! Only you can say this and get away with it:
Splatter flattery across my skin
Then watch as it slowly seeps in
I also cannot leave this line out:
If only I could bathe in every luscious phrase
immersing my self in your sweet attention
I really like your personification of emotions...Amazing.
Well thank you Dohn. I'm a very tactile person, so I write that way I guess. You might like a couple of my older poems like Lollipop http://hubpages.com/hub/Lollipop-poem or Roller Coaster http://hubpages.com/hub/Roller-Coaster-poem
No problem..I like it very much.
Thanks Michael, and nice to meet you.
Ah but this time, I think the image more than rivals the words. But put together? Beautiful I say :D
Very hotly cool! Well done! :)
Thank you Cris, but I can't take credit for the photography. :)
I like that Tom, "hotly cool."
I would rather be holding the beauty, then just critiquing the beauty I beheld. but one can fingerpaint smiles on any girls face with colorful adjectives about her lovely attributes.
I express my self best
in the silence of a kiss, laughter whispers from my eyes, and love is warm upon my fingertips...come stay with me and then together we shall find what says it best.
Superb thoughts on adulation and it's importance in a relationship, or even in just a passing glance. Too many guys focus only on a three point landing, but there are warm liquid eyes, and nibbable ear lobes, and the kissable nape of a neck, and the curve of a gams, and the dimples of cheeks teasing a smile. An endless smorgasbord of delectable delights to peruse, and then grateful compliments to the one who makes them look so tasty.~~~LOL-MFB III
Nice to meet you MFB III! A comment worthy of a cold shower. I think I must go take one now.
that was very powerful. i love your word play
it is gorgous and so true
I am glad you enjoyed it whispers. Cheers.
Sultry & sensuous. . .Mmmm!
Just need to hear it. :)
Very beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
SC, thanks for reading and commenting.
Oh yes! That was delicious! These were my favorite lines:
"Color me with a kaleidoscope of compliments
In them I will find my confidence"
You are definitely an artist!
Well thank you very much. And am very pleased to meet you!

Twenty-eight young men and all so friendly" -- of the same :)
"Only the lull I like, the hum of your valved voice."-- Song of Myself (I couldn't resist)
Wow, that was beautiful. My imagination went wild! Great read, thank you :)
Thank you for coming by Abiscardi and nice to meet you. I'm glad you got your imagination into this one. :)
it would have to be fingerpainted starting with a smile...both horizontal and vertical, then watercolored with various sweet and tangy wines, that come in kiss sized sharings, then it would have to be studied with a long gaze at the framework and the beauty it holds, then of course we would dabble for hours creating a master piece worthy of being remembered for all time~~~MFB III
MFB you visited this again. I guess I need to get some new work up. I doubt you starve your ladies of compliments. In fact I bet they are quite descriptive and rhyme :)
I would by no means deprive you of the swirling thoughts abounding in my mind.
You painted yourself sexy with this one.
Beautiful stuff. I will read more, and hope you do the same of mine :]
I'm insatiable when it comes to compliments I'm afraid.
Already on it... so to speak.
That would be lovely, if you were.
So to speak.
Agreed, getting comments here does become quite like an opiate.
Yes this a great place to get validation; hublove abounds. We just need to hear it.
yes, please do...i think on some level we all need to hear it...the validation of who we know ourselves to be without becoming dependant on others to define it for us...
For our looks, for our writing, for our other abilities, we desire validation. So... you are quite the poet Brian. I haven't figured out how to comment on them but would if I could. :)
yes i agree - we want to hear it and we need to hear it...but should also be able to become colorful by just our inner confidence because unfortunately it works the other way as well..if people paint us pale with their words.. i much like your style of writing randy
Thanks Claudia. To bloom under our watering I suppose is the goal. I would be a liar if I said I was able to do that though.
Cool poem. Great imagery.
Thanks Futonfraggle. Long time no see.
Now THIS is what I call TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!
Fantastic ideas, and excellent translation of those ideas into poetry... and the truth in it all... sigh... need I even mention it!!! :) As much as I hate to admit it, I soooo share your sentiments here... teeheehee
Really, a fantastic write!!
Oh... but this ain't flattery, girl.. this is, in fact, very true... and I can see the pinks on your cheeks deepen... me likes that!! :)
(love n hugs)
I love this...so true.
Greeting Kavita. Yes you made me blush and calling me on it made me blush more LOL. Thank you so much for your more than kind comment.
Thanks for coming by Ayala!
re: "Paint me sexy..." I like how you introduce the poem speaking of relative, qualitative judgments of beauty. This leads well into the wonderful effect and feelings attached to receiving appreciative compliments :)
Thanks Dustus. I'm glad it worked for you. I've always been unsure of those first two stanzas.
"Splatter flattery across my skin
Then watch as it slowly seeps in"
Brilliant lines! I liked the architecture of this piece, it had a tempo that gave it an flirtatious energy. Very nice ~ Rose
Thanks C Rose! I'm glad you liked it. You have inspired me to put voice to one of poems. Now to actually post it....
Hi Randy...
hot poem and I dig the couplets... nice one
Luke
Thanks Luke. I had to look up the word couplets... guess I should take a poetry class.
A poem gets a whole new life when it is spoken aloud, I heard it said. This poem takes on a whole new beauty graced by your voice. Thank you.
Thanks Tom. I'm finding the reading changes it for people. Not always for the better.
