Mute Masterpiece

To capture the true essence of what lies behind my eyes, create a palette of black pastels portraying the shadow that follows like death - a constant visitor to my door. Nobody knows the story of my heart, an artificial anecdote of alliterative angst, bleeding in metaphorical ink stained tear drops, drowning childhood sanity in shallow rivers of bittersweet sorrow. Fate is a fragile wrecking ball, which has become too hard to love. Soul craves to be free under horizons of tangerine temptations, but all I find is twilight with a filthy feldgrau sky. Fatigue imitates the last breaths of a broken butterfly, as 'spirit' becomes imprisoned in sinister silence, yearning to sleep forever in an unfolding labyrinth, hidden from the golden colours of the sun. This smile cannot continue to pretend. Kismet is a crimson clandestine cursed talisman - speech is my harbinger of doom. Miraculous ink flutters in my pen of purification, yet not all verses are meant to be understood. Cathartic martyrdom sounds like poetry, but there is no remedy for magenta manifestations, so I curse the poetic limerence of my tongue, suppressing effervescent emotions inside a garnet treasure chest - blood-soaked, bruised and battered invisible inflictions. I'm a mute masterpiece. Drained from the pain, I told the Grim Reaper, I'm not afraid anymore, of all the lives we lived this is my favourite, but he just smiled then cried asking; "is this our last goodbye?"

Wow! Again you have immersed me in the raw and powerful emotions of this brilliance, silent one! As always you grasp the essence of life as it flows out from your fingertips! For one can resonate and appreciate the amazement of your words so deeply! Indeed not all is meant to be understood, or maybe understood from another perspective? Another masterpiece I am graced to read and feel! I’ve missed reading your ink and another favorite of mine, my friend!

A bit of a darkie are we? I recommend silence when the GR shows up. He's a humorless sort and always wins the argument. Great stuff big guy

wow! breathtaking, creative, and artistic! I felt despair in these alliterative lines: Soul craves to be free under horizons of tangerine temptations, but all I find is twilight with a filthy feldgrau sky. Your imagery furthered the cause of despair yet the surprise ending was filled with resilience and courage. A masterpiece. Enjoyed the read...have a splendid evening. Sara

Creative work you have penned. We never know when death will come knocking and if we have a chance of continuing to even though he is there. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. Sara K

Wow! This is brilliant and so evocative and heartfelt how you’ve expressed here. And i love the song you’ve shared too. I love billie eilish. I must highlight the alliterations and creative manner you have phrased your thoughts here and made it all flow in such seamless eloquence. Especially “ Kismet is a crimson clandestine cursed talisman - speech is my harbinger of doom.“ brillint diction there and “ in my pen of purification, yet not all verses are meant to be understood” true i can resonate

“ I'm a mute masterpiece. Drained from the pain,” life often can leave us feeling this way, exhausted and drained: and ready for the next chapter. Well delivered really. And i think many can also relate to these emotions, and what you’ve expressed here. As sometimes we all feel the same way. And thats the power of your pen of purification: this definitely is a fave for me
