Human beings
are a jumbled mess of colors
In a world
photographed in black and white
We try to lend
our own unique palette
Always ending up
distorted, pixelated

Showing off,
for all the others, in contrast
To the normalcy
often contributed to empty
Spaces, where
we insert ourselves, uninvited

Places, we do not belong
often causing
The misconception
we do not care
If we do or don’t
Will it really matter?

We paint our souls
with no regard for lines
Often finding we
are so abstract, apart
Even the easiest assembly
cannot happen
Without it becoming
a splattered canvas

Where the artists compete
and no one wins

With each stroke painted

A brush released its beauty

His palette of life

Beholden to the talent

He never truly discerned

Ceiling Wax – #poetry #NovemberWriting

Why on earth would I wax the ceiling?
Is the paint up there so badly peeling?

I look up, and to my own eyes
It’s only then do I realize

Ragged pieces, hang and flutter
The cobwebs hide the messy clutter

What shall I do, I can’t stand by
Oh, why must ceilings be so high?

Perhaps, I could try, sealing wax
That’s one sure way to hide the cracks

So, when people look up, all they’ll see
Are the pieces now stuck, to the ceiling and me

A Blank Slate – #poetry #NovemberWriting

Visions, like chalk on a blank slate

Smudged and smeared, patterns

Forming pictures, erased and retraced

Breathing life into empty spaces

That lay naked, unconcealed

Like a facade, to pretty them up

Window-dressings for my thoughts

I am an artist

Whose paintbrush

Flows with the ink

Of pictures written

On a canvas bare

Letters in perfect symmetry

Romancing the palette

A portrait in verse
