 Empty Canvas ~

 

as empty as it gets,

I stare and feel the color embrace me.

The abstract feelings that wanted to

come out yet still trapped within me.

 

I stare on the blank canvas,

Feeling the courage fading,

Losing my mind into vivid colors

      -   Just in thoughts…

Not being able to express them

Is just like making myself aware

that I have no talent in what so ever…

 

Did I lose my confidence that seeks?

Did I lose the passion that burns?

Did I lose my heart that shines?

 

Perhaps the cloud of doubt

    blurs many things…

Perhaps the road of uncertainties

    confuses many decisions…

 

Perhaps the water of creation

    is running dry…

I am losing myself,

     almost giving-up into death’s hands…

Yet…

I won’t give up,

Mastering the strength of what’s left

To find the muse of life

To keep me going a lifetime…

Author's Note

I was contemplating to come back or to completely closed my account, but I don't want to give up to the creativity I find releasing and uplifting for my soul and heart.

I owe the inspiration of this piece to this photo:
I can't paint

It is what I feel when I can't be creative, there is this urge to create within me or within us all. I think every artist knows that. It's been long, I haven't drawn or paint, I guess i really missed that.

I'm the first reviewer. Congratulations to me! LOL.

Nice photo. I know that the poem was picture-prompted...but of course it's within you that motivated to choose such photo for the concept. Perfect combination (of photo and emotion). We're just the same, bro. I can't count how many times I had closed and opened my account 24/7. Sometimes I want to take a rest, but still I'm not happy when I do that. I tried to become active in the other site so that I will have the reason to close my account here for a longer period if I become busy there...but I can't help it. This place is important to me because this became my haven when I was trying to move on from the troubles I have here in my place.

I also miss painting. I'll just wait for the summer vacation to do that.

Happy Holidays to you! Keep going.

as if I could receive many, I am not that active much, and i just came back...
:D but I am happy I am sharing my heart again here in wc...

Thank you so much pretty friend. Indeed it is almost a picture prompt, but the soul is the one who speak and choose this i guess. I don't usually choose a picture if my heart don't agree with it, both must coincide, both in harmony, to blend and expressed my hearts burden. I really am grateful to you, and thank you for your welcoming review.
