SATIRE

 
 
                               Intellectual Ecstasy 

                               Far away, across vast waters,
                               on an island, there lives a man
                               who paints with words
                               on the canvas of my heart.
                               His pallette filled with colours of life,
                               he paints a scene
                               not yet beheld with eyes,
                               but felt within and savoured.
                               With gentle strokes,
                               perspectives deep,
                               and love in many tones,
                               he draws me in until
                               the colours blend
                               and his mind and mine
                               come together
                               in intellectual ecstasy.
