The Shores of Alone

He speaks of love with eloquence
and touches parts never revealed
He has that special second sight
which lets him reach all that she feels.

He paints a portrait like Van Gogh
perhaps with slightest touch of fear
his heart turns into one like Poe
and shoves away who would be near.

The Artists' words of silky blend
become mere lies to add onto
the others she had thought were friends
now art so hopeful turns to blue.

A sorry ending to this tale
of love which never should have failed.

If it's true, it should stand the test of time and life.  Yet, so many times it fails.  All we can do is wonder why and try to learn from it as we move on . . . alone.  Sad, but well written.

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sandra,
    So aptly stated. This particular artist is blind to see all of which he is missing...
        Love, Elise

He just doesn't know his Mona Lisa, is staring him right in the face!   Maybe one day he'll see the light. I really like the comparison. Very well done! There are many starving Artists out there waiting to feed.
Sincerely,
Regina

With each peel of the onion, another deception revealed.  Both result in tears.  Great poem!

The man was a fool as well as a charlatan. Very nice write, Sandra, but one is better off than with such...very gentle smile

nicely done... I would agree that ou are better off without than with in this case...but again I know from my own experiences we can sometimes be totally blind and unaware of what is rightunder our nose...making us seem so much less than we are....

I enjoyed as usual....

why are artists like that?  not just artists either. . . but poets, musicians, writers, anyone of that nature. . . why are they like that??  are we like that????

*sigh*. . .  it's just too sad that some will never see that the truest expression of that art. . . could be right in front of them. . .

An artist touch that could say much but not all that could say might be the true feeling.

Wonderful Sandra.....though sad. You have just expressed it eloquently.

Thank you
