The Painter

By Lethie

 Painter paints
slashing his brush
across the canvase

feeling savage emotion
he mocks every slight splatter
casting judgment in design

The canvase creeks in protest
the feminine pain in stark reliefe
The subject abandoned

Protesting radical ideals
He carves in words
Distorts his ideals

The floor covered with scratches
tell of past dispoinments
bottles clink as they roll

Creation in insanity
Daughter of chaos
Drawn in evey aspect

Painter paints
his last death wish

    ...'feminine pain' of the canvas under the brutal attack of the painter, who isn't happy w/his gift, demands more from his blessing...
