Amaranthine canvas

`

The artist stains the walls with passion
People stop to watch him bleed
He blends his thoughts with a mental brush
and dabbles with the colors of his inner swirls.
A streak of anger runs through him
And lo! a red river flows down the page
He recalls a lily bloom amidst calm waters
And there emerges a cool, watery glade .
Sweat of hard work skids off his back
descending in cascading waterfalls
Scars of long lost loves come to life
leaving traces of a broken harp.
Spring beckons him to her floral lap
as wild flowers burst upon his canvas.
A blush of colour, a dab of paint.
his work done as the artist throws
whirlpools of colour into abandoned holes.
filling the blanks which nature forgot
or those smudged by human echoes.

This is so wonderful. The words paint a picture of its own just like the work on the canvas being spoken about here. I love the words used by you. They are brimming with life and serve the purpose perfectly.

Oh, this is an amazing poem about artists and their craft. I loved the way you combined the subconscious thought with the real art. Beautiful allusions and as has been already said, great poetry.

A very beautiful poem with amazing word choices. I really liked how you described each thing the painter does, and how he imprints parts of his soul into his work. The hard work pours forth onto a blank canvas, and transforms it into a beautiful work of art. Great poetry.
