Swirls of color intertwine
A kaleidoscope in my mind
Paintings of a different kind
Brush strokes on canvas assemble
Within it is a symbol
Images that make me tremble
Shadows and dark forms
Hellish creatures and terrible storms
Should I stop?I am torn.
Out it comes,no stopping now
My hands just move,I don’t know how
A will of their own,to them I must bow
Dissappearing when completed
My memory of the image deleted
Only the knowledge of the painting,and that my will was defeated
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back

very nicely written

Art is art
Whether brush and canvas or paper and pen, we create strong, vivid images. I like the darker sides of this piece. You write them well.
