I bathe the canvas with heartfelt tears
Colors of dreams born of fears
Heavy, heavy the burden lies
Across the land – across the skies
————————-
Fields of lilies dance in the wind
NO! Beckon me back with prickly skin
Enhance my vision allow me to see
Brush strokes of what my life could be
————————-
Escape in the art of these fingertips
Lashes upon lashes from evil whips
Screams of passion on the medium pour
Pigments of this soul – settle a score
—————————
Never the light of day will it see
A masterpiece? It wasn’t meant to be
Mortality of a man who knows
The drapery falls to hide my woes
