Array ( [sid] => 135949 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Artist . . . Ben [time] => 2007-07-14 01:27:33 [hometext] => A poem about a girl named lavinia chandler, who's legacy was but to follow in her mother Darcy Chandler's foot steps . . . [bodytext] =>



High

up in a hidden loft

above a city street,

the artist paint's a portrait

of the love she hope's to

meet.


A friend to fill her empty life

with love forever more,

she paint's a portrait

of an angel standing at her

door.


Upon his face

she pain't a smile so beautiful to see,

and then she stop's

and stare's awhile if only it could

be.


Of course

it's just a portrait

this she know's to well,

amidst her lonely loft she paint's

and drink's her self

to

hell.


The artist

paint's a vivid dream

soon to go to

sleep,

yet in her heart she's wide awake

her soul can hear her

weep.


Alone she'll rise to face the dawn

there'll be no sun

today,

the one she love'd

has come and gone the rain is here

to

stay.


Oh lavinia chandler

what ever shall you do?,

the curse your mother once endured

has now befallen

you.


Darcy's love

was like no other so beautiful she was,

i should know i love'd her so the way a young man

does.


Somewhere all alone in time

darcy she now walk's,

forever more to pen her rhymes and to herself she

talk's.


Oh listen sweet lavinia

can you hear her

now?,

she want's to tell you something

she hope's you'll hear

some

how.


Lavinia

if your listening mother says to

you,

i hope you can forgive this man

for once i love'd him

true.


Yet like the wind he to was wild

and still i love'd him so,

my sweet lavinia your his child

i thought you ought to

know.


Lavinia tried to understand

holding back her

tears,

the

greatest artist in the world couldn't paint

her stolen

years.


What could she do now that she knew

lavinia paint's no

more,

so

much for drinks and dreams come true

and angels at the

door.


Ben

Thank you for more on this intriguing tale. You know its held my interest lol!
So much sadness in this, and I was surprised at how the ending turned out.
But still it was a very good write with that wonderful rhythm and poignant imagery.

Take care,
Dom
