Self-Portrait (Photo credit: nathangibbs)
Paint the canvas black and red
Fire and brimstone, I’ll approve
Through it all some splash of white
Deeper lacks here to remove
Draw true colours from the pit
See as though through demon eyes
Nowhere fit for blue or green
Softer tones are here despised
Ochre and dull orange may
Join with sharper, primary hues
This self-portrait you create
Be not subtle in your clues
Paint the canvas red and black
Use true colours, mark this well
No inhibitions you hold back
Show us all your path to hell

You have a wonderful writing style, very talented.
Thank you so much – I’ve just checked out your blog and so do you! I look forward to keeping up with your work!! 🙂 🙂
My creativity comes in bursts and most of what I posted I wrote a while back. Hopefully I break through my present block and create again. I’ll be following you for now. Thank You
Well, I await your next burst of creativity! You write with great soul!! 🙂
Thank You and maybe that is why it doesn’t flow as I want it to, it seems to have its own will 🙂
The muse will have it’s way!! 🙂 🙂
I like it… the dark aspects of it. The way to hell, the painting of dark hues- It was an appealing read for me.
Thank you, that is so kind! 🙂 🙂
As usual, deep and colorful!
Thanks so much!! 🙂 🙂
