Poem Artwork

 

I was a blank sheet of paper
 
As you traced out my form
with a clever mind
and a sharp-eyed wit
I pulled out of a flat life
into a lush texture
 
Mirroring my half
My Beloved One
You and I became love.
 
Happy Birthday

woah...
the implications of this imagery are stunning.
the way you seem to speak of a paper cut version of adam and eve... the way woman was created from mans rib... beautiful...
and happy birthday seems like an odd way to end and yet it isnt at all when thought of in this light.

wonderful idea.
