and tap my toes on stones
i love what's caught now in my eye
the dirt on dirty bones

see, i've always liked the dirty side
of life.. and beauty too
i paint what i once tried to hide
cause it's my duty to

the darkest pain black oil stain
contained by canvas blue
see the spiral's mindful strain
reflecting back in you

a skull for head but body strong
grips a flower's stem
the petal's pain does not belong
to you, to me.. or him

the swirling red moves heavy lead
thick blood throughout the vein
in madness it's hot soup instead
like sticking pitchforks in my brain

now it's time to fade...

This was very beautiful and abstract. i really enjoyed your imagery. I sort of felt as if i was in a painting. The first line was capturing and you ended it well. Great job, Keep it up.
