Best Masterpiece Poems

Her paintbrush is a razor,
Her canvas, her wrists,
"I deserve the pain."
She shrugs and insists.

One day the brush will push down,
And it will cut so deep,
That this girl will fall
into an eternal sleep.

She doesn't remember how she started
What brought her interest to this,
How do you discover,
that...

Suicide Masterpiece

Sweatdrop
On top
Trigger pop
Written note
All I got
Hang knot
Body rot
Suicide cop

I hope not
Cry out loud
I think not
Body's hot
I am too proud
I am loved a lot
Rooftop.
Suicide bride

Heavy rain
Your game 
the same
Trapped shame
Gone insane
Who's to blame
Red stain
Suicide rain

Addictive dope
Needle hope
Poison taste
Drowning beer
Gunshot
Painless fear
Powder nose
Suicide dose

Razor blades
Flame stare
Pain fades
Sadden...

Looking close at the blank canvas.
Impressions he wanted displayed.

Stroking slow and pressing his brush
an image came forth from Monet.

Laying dormant all of Her life.
Her moment in time had arrived.

 The feelings She felt from within,
were delicate strokes, brushed by him.

They were gentle and soft to...

Paint me.. 
a picture of disaster
of Self pity 
of little worth

of meaninglessness 

on a cornflower blue background
and red brush strokes

signify me..

put me on canvas
on display
for all to see and
criticize

because even 
free wine and
hors d’oeuvres
will never be 
enough

this grand 
opening
isn’t for them

or even
for you
it 
is 
for
Me

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      d o o r

nobody knows the
story of my heart
an artificial anecdote of

A merciless rhythm haunts him
in the chill, indigo night
thrilling scales move restlessly 
inside his tormented mind
aching to be released. 

He stares outside the rippled windowpane
vacuous trees are scattered      shivering 
lifeless leaves swirl about in listless clumps
yet the breath of revival...

(please read "Her Masterpiece Is Her Story" before reading the second part. It'll make more sense and probably be more enjoyable!)

The girl who has beautiful scars,
And the boy with marks of strength,
Are now separated by distance,
And that is causing some teenage angst.

The girl wonders how...

It's an addiction.
She craves the friction.
The brush against the canvas,
The blood scented, crimson kiss.

This girl has nightmares every night,
She does sad things out of your sight.
She'll have moments where she feels okay,
But then she realizes the feeling does not stay.

This girl is chasing a never...

As I read the words my heart started to sing
For you had gave emotion to a non living thing

I can't ever remember feeling quite that way
I could hear the music that she used to play

I could feel her heart through the tears I cried

Morning masterpiece

~

Watercolor clouds wander
in early autumn dreams,
where delicate hues of
pastel woven ribbons
melt against a canvas
of blue chrysanthemum skies,
painting a soft lemon drop glow 
in daffodil brushstrokes,
creating a brand new 
morning masterpiece
for us to share  

Good morning Soupers...

She flowed out of his sable brush 
As if form became fluid
Indigo blue the first of hues
Each stroke a caress …


A teardrop sliding down his face
His memories piercing his heart
Sighs and a deep breath 
His lifetime masterpiece awaits …


Silver lit hair black as night
Her Indigo...
