The PainterA Poem by Joey Martinez
The painter who portrays false art
A soul wallowing in pain from the start But her brush depicts a different view A broken painting covered with strokes of new It's astonishing how she deceives the naked eye How can the brush of a painter draw such lies? Its astonishing how she strokes a smile over the frown Painting over the wounds she's suffered all around Her touch of the brush thats magnificently swift A talented curse? Or a marvelous gift? You will never know the pain within A master of disguise with a tragic spin I must admit, I am impressed by her work Even damaged she has outstanding worth But she needs to paint the truth Reveal the struggle, show the pain Instead of drawing the sun, illustrate the rain Show us the truth Color the pain and trace the wounds The lies need to vanish Perfection is boring, I'm intrigued by the damage My heart beats for the honesty You're a vandalized novelty © 2018 Joey Martinez |
