PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

If you paint inside the lines

with corresponding colors,

how pretty a picture?

Creation's calling

but no one wants to answer

too consumed, too concerned

are our thoughts with the mirrors

while the mold's melting.



Paint by numbers

One to yellow, red to two

I'll hold my breathe

'till my face is blue.



Of all the starving artists

let's fill our bellies.

(this is for you.)

Of all the dying children

let's make more life.

(this is for you.)



This was the top shelf

the best place to put

our finest collectibles.

Creation's crashing

let's all watch the carnage

too beautiful, too beautiful

what a mirage this music is

to harness what I'm feeling.



Paint by numbers

One to yellow, red to two

I'll swing my arms

'till I'm black and blue.



Of all the starving artists,

let's fill our bellies.

(this is for you.)

Of all the dying children

let's make more life.

(this is for you.)



You've lost your mind,

I've lost my heart

let's search for them both

in fading art.
