visionary;

visionary;

he stretches out with anger
to form an ugly shape
his hands create violence
his words create hate
his mind is a grand design
a masterplan, a scheme
his skill is grand and refined
he creates spaces in between

with every stroke he envisions
something uncontained
time with due precision
concentrating with a look of pain
his eyes become beads
of sweat, anger and blood
blank and on the verge of completion
muddled through the mud

he reaches up for something
that blinds him to the world
he casts out his memories
vengeful over a girl
whose lips could not hinder
could not conceal his lies
it certainly cost him everything
but most of all his pride
so he paints her as ugly
so he can love her less
he finds he is painting a lie
there's a painful beating in his chest.
