I Cut Up Her Face

In my chamber
Of artistic endeavor
She sits on a chair
Unmoving
Like a block of stone
I with chisel and knife
Cut her up
Piece by piece
She is stoic
She never cries
I see no pain in her eyes
Gently, I carve her in my vision

I will mold her
I will hold her
I will told her
Stories of my past
She will be my prisoner
Of the heart
She has no where to run
I have no where to hide

Love 
Stone cold
Emotions warm
In Silence
We both mourn
The histories
The stories
The memories

My love I created
 In Stone
I have her on display
For you too, to see my suffering
I am the sculptor

Eve Roper Date: 3/1/2015 10:48:00 PM Good Creative write , Arthur, our art tells us a lot when we start to create in our mind, it speaks to us until we finally have it right then we stand back and admire our creation when we are done 7 blessings Login to Reply Arthur Vaso Date: 3/1/2015 11:04:00 PM So kind Eve thank you !
