Here is my canvas, hung on the wall
A canopy of glass, no room no hall
The canvas splashed with reds, with greens
And shades of black stroked in between
Figures form as forms dissolve
Canvas fades as the lines evolve
I search for meanings in scattered lines
Embossed in gold and silver they shine
Straight from heaven they told they came
A multitude of hungry hands for frame
They tore apart the flesh off my frame
Devoured the colors and claimed my name
In frenzy I hacked and cut and chopped
Those hands that came to claim my mould
I drew out flesh off their fallen bones
Sew my canvas, painted till it shone
My canvas breathes, my colors swell
The forms rise up to heaven and hell
My canvas splashed with reds and greens
And shades of black wedged in between.

loved this line "Canvas fades as the lines evolve". Brilliant work this :)
i see hope in here, not usually the feeling i get after i finish a poem by u :) but this i a different, cynical hope. the persona went through a lot, from passiveness when 'the shades of black' were 'stroked in between' to the activeness, to the taking ones own destiny in their own hands, drawing out 'flesh off' its tormentors' 'fallen bones'...but still, when it has regained its composure, caught up with its breath, the 'shades of black still wedged in between' like old nightmares. and that is why, there is hope, but a tormented kind of hope...
