to make you art

in a dream,
i saw a reflection of your face.
i wanted to grab you,
out from the
mirror that faced me
but, you were gone
when i turned around.
i wish i were an artist,
so i could
paint you anywhere i wished.
on the high ceiling of a church,
so i could face you
instead of god,
or on my arms
so when i wipe my tears
we would be
face to face.
i long to smear your reflection
over the entire world,
so you could watch over me
while i sleep.
