Untitled..

The blankness of the canvas haunts me..

oddly reminds me of my life somehow..

yesterday it bore a much adored picture of perfection..

now the colors ruefully succumb to nothingness…

 

red..the color of love..

was painted all over..

now the shades of silence have shadowed em..

 

the passion of lavender laced its outline..

but now its all gone..

 

black’s elegance has faded to grey..

yellow’s vibrance has mellowed away..

and every other shade has managed to merge into..

the all encompassing hues of the void..

and lost its very existence..

 

the blankness of the canvas haunts me..

oddly reminds me of my life somehow..

huh? may i ask you for a cup in wich you may pour some soul? you must purge....i see it but you may need some coaxing.....does it hurt? can i feel the pain? well i want to, would you now for the sake of the readers and for the heart in wich you derive these words from open up and let it flow......im not being critical, i just am trying to id you......you....

The poem itself is haunting. Just as the colors fade away, so does the life. I'm fighting off shivers. Wonderful.
