The painter....

by cowgirlstar26   Sep 18, 2007


Blank sheets scattered
pencils lay upon the ground
clouds brood in the dark sky
a defining silence, no single sound

cascading winds fill the room
blowing locks of hair from her face
showing her dim blue eyes
she writes down her mistakes

theres no comfort here
this sol om world she has
clutching onto reality
hoping for something to last

pressing lightly on a canvas
she sketches out a rose
filling it in with black
the only color she knows

walking to the window
waiting for it to dry
singing softly to herself
tears slowly fill her eyes

she stares at pictures on the wall
all of which she made
black and white paintings
to make any heart break....

resurrecting her life again
she walks as a testomony
painting pictures of past pain
but they forever stay as memories

    A very nicely written poem. the flow was intensely flawless and your choice of words were simply beautiful. you really captured some deep emotion in this piece.

    "pressing lightly on a canvas
    she sketches out a rose
    filling it in with black

    When I read this I imagine myself standing in the corner of the room looking up at all the pages, tacked, nailed and taped up all around me. I'm watching a girl, half crying, half singing, by the window, trying to capture her face in my memory, and then imagine how it looked as she drew every picture. Each time wanting to speak, wanting to tell her exactly which part of my heart she's breaking, but I never can. All I can do is watch.
