PainTing...

Feeling worse
As always, usual;
Coloring canvas
Knife, needle…

Brush’s shove
White abates
Green rebuffs
Cyan dilates
Fuchsine clouds
Sorrow lingers
Silenced sounds
Cutthroat fingers
Gray loneliness
Blue recline
Ashy embrace
Yellow declines
Purple borrowed
‘Lil vertical stretch
Hazel furrowed
Horizon sketched
Brown stares
Touch of red
Sticky tears
Silver edge
Pitter-patter
Scarlet rain
Splitter, splatter
Scattered paint
Crimson river
Full to brim
Violet shiver
Sight dims…

Wrinkly pause
Vodka’s whistle
Portrait coarsed
Hasty bristles…

Past vents
Time swallowed
Leant present
Future hollowed
Sleepless night
Dream chokes
Fiery sight
Ending strokes
Void orange
Trashed, vertigo
Vermilion rage
Leaves indigo
Crayons nettle
Pain tings on
Pallid petal
Agony reborn
Roses rotten
Love’s gift
Hate begotten
Peace shifts
Wicked frown
Carrion envision
Casket drawn
Carried on incision
Tortured love
Nurtured hate
Blackened dove
Shattered fate…

Hammer enforced
Gored heart, this’ll
Hang “My Corpse”
On futile thistle…
