Claire, my love, painting my heart
You are a masterpiece, a gentle art
Your brown eyes hold a world of light
Like morning sun on canvases so bright.
In every stroke and painted hue
I find a masterpiece in you
The world is a canvas when you are near
With colours only your beautiful eyes see clear.
You paint the shadows with a golden light
Turning the ordinary into something bright
With every bold stroke and each delicate line
You capture the light and you make it divine.
The world is a canvas of silence and grey
Until you arrived, now the colours all play
Your brown eyes like forests of amber and oak
Reveal all the secrets that beauty ever spoke.
They hold a deep warmth, like a soft- burning fire
The anchor of home and my hearts one desire
You stand by the canvas, your brush in your hand
Tracing the dreams of a faraway land .
But the greatest of portraits, the colours most true
Are the ones that I see when I'm looking at you
Claire, you're the colour, the paint, and the light
The reason my universe shines twice as bright.
