An eccentric museum accepting visitors even at midnight Diverse artworks littered the walls The artworks were the walls And there you were, a mediocre painting Barely beautiful, but intensely intriguing
Such an ordinary painting as you have caught my attention Contained in a frame created out of flimsy, cheap wood With curves and lines not deemed comely by standards But to me, in a way, appealing You bear revolting edges which deplores me But pleasant colors fill some of your space
Far from magnificent, greatly lacking to be a masterpiece These hands of mine tremble with want to refine you I've got paintbrushes for fingers, tubes of visions for colors Dexterous are my hands as my mind is creative Let my touches sketch your path to grandeur
But you are your own art, you are your own The words reverberate within my skull I chain my own hands down and battle with the urge If I cannot appreciate you, I shan't recreate you One last stare, before I look away
