Not a blank canvas

Not a blank canvas

A Poem by EnglishMajor55
"

My body is an art piece sculpted by the environment and its people. This poem is about the heart as art and how you saved my broken canvas.

"
My heart is not a blank canvas,
Splatters of ink, torn and ripped;
parts are burnt with
... sadness.

Many have painted
with brushes, mishandled,
writing, drawing, grafitti
... vandaled

You should know
you're not the first
to write your chapters
in here
... versed

What are you doing?
Tearing your already torn canvas
and pasting it on mine?
You saved my heart by paper mache,
and our canvases are now
... entwined.

No doubt, one of my fav. poetry. So many things - the realism of your "captured" heart you've rendered or shaped undisguised with poetic verses of life ... kinda intriguing reading but am sure, it's never been so "intriguing" handing poor aches rather, handling love... very thoughtful you're with words. Great job!
