Paint On A Canvas
Paint on a canvas
Each stroke leaves a streak of color in its wake
Some are thicker and some may be mistakes
The bright lines of reds and pink that belong to the canvas begin to pile
Claiming it
The pigmented color begins to swallow it whole as the paint begin to run down edes
Making a mess of it
The paint drips slowly on to the floor with a splat
The puddle grows as one does to stop but continues to pile the paint on the canvas that has no room for paint
But this is why the canvas was made, to be coated by paint, lines, and splatters of color,
Reds
Purples
Browns
They all engulf a canvas as they should
Mistakes or not they paint the canvas
Every spot tells a tale
Some darker than others
Some are a call for help
Others are a reminder of moments that you wish to forget
But even when the canvas drys and there is no more paint to run down its sides the previous marks will always be there to tell the story...
