Heartbreak Art

Such a pretty picture I've painted in my mind
A Monet of fantasy
A Van Gogh seek but no find
            Just an illusion really
            the imagination of my heart
            Mixed media emotions
            I call it Heartbreak Art
                         Dabs of disappointment 

                         across my internal canvas
                         There is us
                         and then there is this

"There is us
and then there is this"

so beautiful how you use the art images all the way through and then finish it out with this poignant line! you've painted this picture in your mind but it is not what your relationship with this person really is. you've deceived yourself within he beauty of the sadness. my favorite image was the mixed media emotions. great work!

There and this occupying identical footings, either happiness or the USS Disaster! Even the mighty HMS Titantic went down early and hard! Another nice word picture here!

I like this a lot, from the descriptions of famous painters styles invading your hearts imagination and the knowledge that it is but an illusion, but that it gives life to your "Heartbreak Art". Great voice and creativity KJ.

Very descriptive and telling, a joy to read.

Gosh, absolutely beautiful! (As a creative person) I really loved how you tied art in with love. Beautiful!

Sometimes the world warps to our perceptions. Sometimes we wish for it.

Simple, elegant work. I like it.

Good title that suits the theme of your poem. You paint a vivid picture of your thoughts, the color of it viewed through your imagination. Unique, creative and powerful.

Artistic. I like. Love the structure.
