Decieving Canvas

an artist's deception with peering eyes
the depth of perspective and the warm colors one feels
stroking smoothly across their empty thoughts
to shallow to see the true meaning

that when peeling of layers you find the canvas
painting over the glass everyone sees
painting a smile...hiding the sorrow
painting happiness from colors that bleed

the crimson glow, drawing flowers of scars
covering it quickly, with layers of paint

I can barely see out and you can't bare look in

behind the glass and layers of paint
white decaying flesh lays
strong smell of apathy is mere oxygen
that is where nothing remains

I almost stood up and clapped for that, gorgeous choice of words and the rhythm certainly adds to the envelope the writing makes.

Strong smell of apathy is mere oxygen, killer choice of words there.
