Painting With Crimson

Today I painted my masterpiece
Of reds and whites and candle lights
Brilliant views of my baby blues
Quiver of my hand dropped stark silver

Colors crowded spread like butter
Muted music all too much suited
Falls as phantoms in all the halls
Cool tints overcome by crimson

Could the cop copy it with his camera?
Pardon the paint pouring from wrists
Tie together the tempting image
