The paint is dry, but is it you
who looks away, ( we see one eye)
it could have been me too?
Is it a tear, a laugh a cry?
*
Is it you, this picture, when
it is not me, are we both here
is it a hollow image then
just canvas with a bit of smear?
*
Why has the painter left his work
unfinished on the floor
and is that smile there just a smirk
as he walks out the door?
*
The canvas will just rot and mold
rats will come, the fabric torn apart
We can´t be painted, so I am told.
Just tears can paint an akin heart

Sad and complative piece; you have captured the longing and regret nicely.
Hi Christine, thank you very much!
Wow, what a beautiful poem, thank you for sharing 🙂
I do believe more than a tear can paint a canvass, although sometimes I do feel that way.

Hi I am fine, thank you for your comment. I have tried to write a story for the slam ( “Abe”) and made it an entry. Now I am trying to find the rules for the rally.
This gives that “storminess” such a romantic quality. I agree with others it is very beautifully done.
Thank you Old-Raven 🙂
