Paul Ruben

you paint newness
in subtle colours and textures
a perfect nose
round cheeks
pliant red lips 

your brush describes arcs
head resting in crook of mother’s arm
dimpled hand touching throat
eyes lashed curves
sleeping sweetness 

backs of our fingers
lightly draw
across your sleeping face
sometimes your arms twitch
in a startle
infant dreams
filling your canvas of caresses

  1. ...precisely watched and bound into words. Well done. Thank you. Summer is getting hot now and Paul is growing fast to be a big boy; just now he is a big baby still sweet and tender as you described. With a gentle Smile of Paul's face we wish you a nice summer and a lot of impressions. Kind regards
    Opa/Oma of Paul & Jonathan.
