If I Could Paint a Portrait

I would paint one just for you

If I could paint a portrait
I’d be inspired by many others,
Like Degas’ Yellow Dancer,
And maybe Whistler’s Mother.

If I could paint a portrait
I would paint one just of you,
With Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa smile,
And Van Gogh’s Iris hues.

If I could paint your portrait
It would be a work of art,
Highlighting all your features,
And painted from my heart.

If I could paint your portrait
I would blend the paints with care,
To match your perfect skin tone,
Your eyes, and mouth, and hair.

If I could paint your portrait
I would be a man inspired,
My brush would flow untethered
Showing how much you’re desired.

If I could paint your portrait
It would never be for sale,
Although it would be priceless
And be sought by every male.
