Not another day could I stand being apart
From my beloved, so I painted him in art
With vibrant red to represent his heart’s pleading
Conveying with each brush stroke my love bleeding

(Love Comes Alive is a poem from an Artist and an author. She is depicting the poem in her most positive way. Her poetic rhymes are excellent. See the ending of each and every line of this stanza. Superb and lovely)

His gaze, piercing through my soul, locked into my eyes
The likeness of his gentleness took me by surprise
And as I was adding the last finishing touch
The portrait moved, I felt his hand take mine in clutch!

(The Artist is getting into a love affair of the art work itself. "His gaze of love is piercing through the soul" Amazing and alluring lines)

My lover’s eyes met mine, as he held onto my hand
My painting turned alive! His movements did expand
To reaching for me to help pull him out and through
The transporting canvas, and hold me standing in full view

(The Poetess is getting into a virtual world of love, both wer holding a hand in hand. Lovely imagery)

Fantasy transformed into reality like kismet magic
I kissed him hard, as his absence had been tragic
My ache to be with him, was mirrored in his face
We were separated too long by distance and space

( The fantasy has become a reality, the love started its own  journey)

Our passion consumed us both, and we were unable
To resist temptation, so we cleared off the art table
In one long sweep, paint and brushes spilled on the floor
With reckless abandon, our love’s needs did implore

( The colors of love got spilled out on the table, temptations conquered throughout and the spirit of  both the ART and ARTIST united into one life as itself Amazing)

On a makeshift bed, living art spread in a canvas of skin
Kisses, in artistic expression, imbued desire therein
The painted colors of his love poured inside of me
As I became his art pallet to thrust his masculinity

(The poem reaches in its climax of love and lust, beautifully depicted by Cherie Sumner)

His careless whispers swirled in hues of love in my ears
In rhythmic unison, our climax brought me to tears
A masterpiece, making love an art form that fateful day
But when I blinked my eyes, my beloved faded away

(Directly or indirectly, this poems intoxicates everyone's life, as human beings, we all are like artist's doing an art of love and its own life)

I sat up on the art table to behold the sad circumstance
My lover was back an art portrait, with loving glance
He stared back at me on canvas and broke my heart
Right back to missing him, for the miles we live apart

(The contrast between the lover and the loved is depicted beyond the borders of intimacy and affection. Hats off to my beloved and favorite Poetess Cherie Sumner. This is a romantic verse on love)

For centuries, Painting is being considered as  poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen. Everything you can imagine becomes a reality or a show, or a way of life and it is real.Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth and the rawness in real life.The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious - the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science.Art and love, both are the same in one way, both are attracted each other, the art and the artist, the poem and the Poetess- It’s the process of seeing yourself in things that are not you.Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.I dream my painting and I paint my dream.Many great artists have been drawn together in real friendship and in love. In " Artists in Love" , curator and writer Veronica Kavass delves into the passionate and creative underpinnings of the art world's most provocative romances. From Picasso and Francoise Gilot to Lee Miler and Man Ray to Saul Steinberg and Hedda Sterne, Kavass' graceful and daring text provides a generous glimpse into the inspiring and sometimes tempestuous relationships between celebrated artists throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. From poetic beginnings to shocking endings, and vice-versa, the various dimensions of the artist couple archetypes are  ceaselessly explored.  Some are enduring and collaborative, yielding astonishing parallel bodies of work, as with Robert and Sonia Delaunay and Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Others are adoring and explosive, such as Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera and Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns. Essays revealing what compelled these dynamic artists to partner, how their pairing influenced their work, and why their love may have faltered, are accompanied by lush illustrations of their art and documentary photographs of the couple. This is About Artist's in love. But Poetess Cherie Sumner is bringing a beautiful poetry of an artist who falls in love with the art work and dwells in a fantasy mood. A painter should begin every canvas with a wash of black, because all things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light of a real life within us. I am an emotional person who only understands  life lyrically, melodiously, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason.

I am so thirsty for the spectacular that only the art has power over me. Anything I cannot transform into something artistic or spectacular, I let it go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape,one way or another. No more canvas, no more picture, no more colors.  Congrats dear Poetess Cherie Sumner for sharing your wonderful poem "Love Comes Alive" with us.
