palette knife
The canvas waits beneath a tempered blade. A pale silver knife, not forged for war, I wield. I paint the silence that the wounds betrayed. The sky lies torn in strokes of celeste shade, each slash more raw, no truth left unrevealed— the canvas waits beneath a tempered blade. No brush can bruise the dark the way I’ve flayed these hues loose,...

Premium Member Wrap me in dreams, like a canvas of stars draped over my soul
Wrap me in dreams, like a canvas of stars draped over my soul, When the rain weaves its silver silk on windows like a veil of silence, The cold gathers us like birds under the same sky, caressed by memories, The sun, a weary painter, lays slanting rays on the terraces of our dreams. Let dreams carry me through...

Premium Member I wear my dress like a canvas of dreams woven from threads of the moon
I wear my dress like a canvas of dreams woven from threads of the moon, as if my porcelain skin had never been touched by shadows, as if you hadn't taken me to the back of a car, a temple of secrets, as if you hadn't possessed me like an elixir flowing through a thirsty soul. I wear my...

Premium Member Is life truly an art or just a messy canvas I never asked to touch
Is life truly an art or just a messy canvas I never asked to touch, and death the same, a final brushstroke or just a fear hidden in dark corners? I ask this because, if life is art, then I suppose I am an artist, but shouldn't artists love what they create, find peace in their works, not feel...

Premium Member My Tattoos
My skin tells a tale, no shame, no regret/ Ink etched in darkness, paths firmly set/ Each mark a whisper, Occult and profound/ Symbols of magic, where shadows abound/ The inverted cross, a forearm's creed/ A testament to journey, to spirit and need/ Commanding respect, not of gangster lore/ But ancient rites, that my soul explores/ A clean life I walk, sober, legit/ No...

Premium Member The pool becomes a canvas, whitening all the scars that hurt
The pool becomes a canvas, whitening all the scars that hurt, Allowing you to escape from the shadows that hide easily beneath the foam, As if the stains of being touched, wounded, and haunted, Had melted into the silent water that embraced you. As the heavy weight fills your lungs with silent water, A strange clarity emerges, drowning out lost...

Premium Member After Midnight Canvas
Shards of lambent moonlight drift across crumpled charcoal sky, gleaming snow clad laneways flaunt ancient ghostly footprint, dream world boisterous cabals lurk in blue ink shadows, glow worm street lights peer o’er nocturnal hour hush, swirling toll of dulcet midnight bells defrost black ice veil, mud stained slush from madcap drivers spray giggling sweethearts...

Canvas
I believe this space must be appreciated Blank, white, plain to see Why are we so quick to cover up That which is boundlessly free Look at this space between the frame Question, wonder, and consider Here is a blank field, free for the taking With potential untapped, as it were But perhaps something sad should be noted This canvas gets only one experience Endless...

red canvas
Trigger Warning: This poem deals with themes of self-harm. Please read with care. -- my skin felt like a blank canvas every time they faded. i felt empty my urges unsatisfied. i had to give in; just one time, i told myself again. i marked the canvas angry veins of crimson swiped along the pale surface; each stroke with more intent than the last. the...
