The eyes portray
Deep wells of sorrow
Within this moment
No thoughts tomorrow
The painting shows
The broken will
Loneliness again
To begin.
Each line a battle
Of an endless war
Each shred of torture
To explore
The world must see
Must understand
The artist who
Before them stands.
The rainbow is sweet
With coloured wings
Upon a sunlit sky
A lark it sings
The hazy fields
Its golden corn
The rich earth
Each year reborn.
If art could touch
As it touches me
In vibrant echo
The need to see
To feel the world
To grip my soul
Fate it deems
I will not grow old.

Good write N.
We know why he is facing that way, sadly. Meanwhile - Oh no, not a corny 'hear, hear' ('ear, ear') joke from me! lol.
thats cruel lol
It\'s naughty - a dark joke.
Here\'s another one - how did he wear specs?! This terrible joking from me must stop. lol.
But he could still hear, of course, with both ears.
you are terrible, but funny lol
A lovely write about a misunderstood artist that sadly took his own life before fame reached him. This poem reminds me of ''Don McLeans song Vincent it is well worded and nicely woven and a fave
