Forgotten Strokes

by Jacki   Dec 21, 2004


A canvas sits untouched, unveiled
lonely and forgotten, memories fade.
Careless strokes of grey wispy thoughts
palette decorated nightmarish dreams;
requiem conceived glowing through
the tainted pasty lacerated sheet.
Visions of evening dining, star lit
sparkled eyes, manifested demons
trying unworldly times.
Tears over flowing, a puddle now forms
The evening candles are lit, but no one’s
There to show.

    I love this. The words and comparisons were absolutly beautifully used. Every line was incredibly lovely, every word was so beautifully put. the piece is tragecally beautiful and full of dark imageries which are transfered to beautiful and depsairing thoughts.
