Heart of polystyrene

Painted red heart of polystyrene,

in the last pocket of your pants,

like it's forged

by the hand of a good draftsman,

who's accidentally smear the edge,

and poured tempera on canvas of life.

And pulled a few lines

colored of the merlot.

And i am that artist

who's dipped the brush

in the range of your dreams,

and wrote carelessly at the bottom your letters.

Exquisite imagery. the speaker riveting confessional tone in this verse. though it is inexpressive of guilt, it is meant to smite the person 'carrying the painted red heart of polystyrene.' I adore how u've mentioned in the end who the artist is (which you are in real life). That's definitely creative!

Truly a work of art!

"And i am that artist
who's dipped the brush
in the range of your dreams,
and wrote carelessly at the bottom your letters." ~Wow! This is eloquently written.

A beautiful, heartfelt write Roberta filled with colorful and vivid images...
You truly are 'that' artist..
you might want to add "of'' in front of "your letters"..

I really like this. I can't put my finger on why - but I think that's part of its beauty. I loved the last line, that's for sure. :)
Keep writing - can't wait to read more.

A magnificent display of words you have here. They are a shining achievement if you ask me. I love to read them again and again.

Title to bottom this is a very unique piece, it has some poignant lines and catching adverbs. It has a classic, ambiguous feel to it with some modern chaos and mixes the mundane and the intangible very well.
