Our story as Art

It started out white

then a bold splash of fiery passionate red

and some moody depressing blues

followed by envious green

splashed across 

the middle of it all.

with small streaks of hateful black

then 

little by little

hurtful purple

at first around the edges

then more dominant

till the other colors 

started to disappear

deep, bruising purple

with streaks of

cowardly yellow.

That canvas is the story of us.

Painting and poetry.
It really never gets old.
This ending is new... and I like how you add the yellow into the bruise. I'm not sure I want it to heal.

-- wow... this is so vivid and so philosophical that i am startled... i wonder if we are the ones who destroy the art we create... or... if our potential soulmates cannot comprehend what art means to us...

Impressive, as your words projected just what that picture looks like into my mind. I like the concept here of beginning pure and gradually layers are added to make it unrecognisable to what it started as. Great work Terry.

[terry smith]

you could do that too...all I am saying :)

[alifeacoustic]

True. It has given me a thought. Thanks for the request, I appreciate it.

[terry smith]

Thanks for excepting!

[alifeacoustic]

A pleasure.

Wow.....love the visual imagery and use of color in this stunning write.

[terry smith]

thank you!!

[Cherry Pepperweb]

The whole spectrum... Life and relationships are like that.
I like the use of the colour palette.

[terry smith]

Thanks CP! I am an artist besides a writer and I think I will do a canvas of my next relationship, just leave it hanging on the wall, a work in progress.

[Cherry Pepperweb]

I like that. Great idea!
