Is it so
The being of numeral
Charted statistic
Igualmente
It started with protection
Hide yourself
But you took everything
I won't let you take them too
It's all colored lines
Point A seldom trot to Point B
A mind grounded in grey haze
Matching hearts held in loving daze
Let it paint where we all stroke
Show the color of us
As strong as oak

Rainbow black and grey
Chaplin days of telling tales
Hands held high in blank states
Grips tightened on shallow slates
Suffer slim paint of a tree
Be the master of the canvas
And the picture is incomplete without thee
You, me, we

What's defined, heart-to-heart as key
A solemn "her" without a desperate "me"
The fruitless beg to start over
The "me" that can't live without "her"
Two combined, defined by God as One
Defy the language, I'm not done

Rainbow as vibrant as night
Modern day do flaunt said show
Hands do clap for deafened crow
My love for her unbeknownst, who know
Grow birch from ground to sky
Left me simply asking why
On top of lumber she live life
Yet on dirt I define by knife

Answers are not want we want
But another chance
Start over
With me
Flamboyant cadence
"Me" and "Her" left to a simple, single dance
Served cold and last
Picked only if desperate
Left out in trash
Considered fruitless for effort
The barren tree
Bottom of the barrel
Forgetful and forgotten
They are quick to move on
Scoop spirits for seconds
Table-less meals for full mouths
Set back home with no desire
Wait for chance that lid is lifted
He was gone
All those years ago
I am in line
My substances in hand
Make me believe
A new world
One where you came back
We lived happily together
A world without the pain
But you always had it at your side
It drove us apart
It told you how to love
And it stopped me from loving you
It took you from me
And I'm alone without your voice
Just me
And the substance you left with me
You never came back
But you invited me to join you
When we were never ready
And with the pain of two
I live for one
The art of earning what you deserve
Philosophical merit
Dinner for even the working man
But is it earned?
Or is the dish as cold as the person who cooked ill of moral?
Some craft meals to eat
Others hang in a balance
Only surviving on what little they are served
Is this that "Karma" spoken of?
To eat only enough to justify your person
You did not deserve this
But you earned it
And in solemn regret
You live your dish
Poetry takes a lot of forms
The heart, the soul, the written course
Some writers plead to the beyond
Others plead to the

Paintings do not move down
But art travels up
Create skyward-bound
And die presenting
My simple canvas
And I paint it
I stroke it thorough
My single woe
Be that I paint it blue
I want it to scramble
The oil preamble that sink by candle
But they do not want
They want dreams and fiction
Pink in premonition
I feel blue

I pick my paint
But fortune demand
I deny feeling so quaint
And just so mix the two
Art in simple pink and blue
Mix together and we are lost
Two diverse only to single brown
No heart or soul
Only creation bring me down

What it be to live stung
In the sharp ending of one
Be burned in a brick of ice
Please
Let me express
Just how I feel
Fine, to listen
Grab pink
Paint blue
Live life held by another hue
Donations shy of my next clue
Painted pain and supported flaw
Brown on white canvas
To be one
Life in pink, feel in blue
Pencil and pen
Canvas reign true
Surprise follow-up to a poem that deserved no sequel.
