Numbers Crawl Over Fragile Skin

by Melpomene   Jan 22, 2008


In the end dates once important tend to crawl over fragile skin,
Like oil to a canvas painted similar to Van Gogh's starry night.

Monochrome vision has become such a fantasy to me,
Wisping away in Kodak film dark room of my delights,
Burning film surrenders to thin ashes of neurotic lighters,
Though where are you to whimper?
As my heart goes up in flames..

Darling, I'm drowning in my own creativity...

A scent of paint shall travel to our lips oh what a taste it is,
Chased by an obedient paintbrush over an easel of my ease,
Starry night shall plaster my painting, A rip off of Van Gogh,
Though no ones here to inspire me,
As my talent becomes theft.

Darling, I'm drowning in my own creativity...

Vivid ink shall pour onto parchment speaking words of love,
Yet manipulated by emotions behind harnessed insecurities,
Depressing poetry etched within a nightmare now replayed,
Though no ones here to hear me,
As thorns entwine with flesh.

Darling, I'm drowning in my own creativity...

..Drowning in creativity
..Drowning in creativity

As roses carve out the date till death.

    I think you message was very vivid, especially the part where you wrote "inspire". I sometimes feel very confused with my creativity. But then, creativity is a bundle of beautiful thoughts unified in one's mind. I see a lot of that here. I'm sure plenty of people are that way and just won't really admit it. 5/5 A very powerful piece!
