and angels in the shade
I knew my art was ending
before the paint was laid
I'm numb within the canvas
to lies and pillows grey
I never knew i'd want this
this nightmare in the day

Crush my heart of candy
scratch and sniff till noon
I wonder if she'll have me
or desert me till i'm blue
Now i feel too numb to paint
all the things i knew
I'm sour in my heart of hate
because i'm now with you...

Yay first comment, no my first comment. My first comment on the poem lol. This was a very good poem, it kind of reminded me of how I portrayed my poetry as art, many different emotions can be expressed in such little words. Well this was a good write. I loved it. Keep that pen rollin. SLipSiX.

Well, this is my first comment on the site. I have to say that your poem is pretty good, and it has a good structure to it. I enjoyed the distinct vocabulary that you used, such as "numb within the canvas". I also like the way you ended it, as it ties up the entire poem together nicely. Good job.

Dwayne so much can be said in so few words. A very gifted and talented poet who never disappoints with his writing. One should read between the lines. Need ta talk I'm here 4 you my friend.

I really liked this poem. I loved the imagery... especially these two lines:


"I'm numb within the canvas"

"Crush my heart of candy
scratch and sniff till noon"

Beautiful and excellent choice of words. Although there is one thing that is bothering me about the poem. The ending. The way it rolls off of my tongue. The whole poem is in constant rythm, but I feel the ending is lacking.

"Now i feel too numb to paint
all the things i knew
I'm sour in my heart of hate
because i'm now with you..."

I was thinking of maybe flip flopping the "i'm now with you" to "now I'm with you". Let me know what you think. Just a suggestion... It was a beautiful poem :)

"Now i feel too numb to paint
of all the things i knew
I'm sour in my heart of hate
because now i'm with you..."
