I am the Painter

I am the painter
whose strokes are fast
brutal, in fact
the red lines
so sharp in his face
I paint him with hate
as my fists turn red
blurred images of
angry eyes and death
turn my hate to rage
insane with pain
I roar
painting my emotion on his face
in devastation
"so now he waits
in his own little hell
surrounded by the
the very things he came to escape"

lol u know how you feel, I quite often wish I was talented in the arts so as to take out my frusrations on something like this. Still, that's what poetry is for as well, eh? lol.

..slashing that emotion across his face..with force and with revenge..I could really see the blood/hate splashing on the walls in this one...

.very effective.
.jeanne.
... and his words purge up and outward,
expelled and onward through desert dust swallowed,
sands he says that gorge on simple sensibilities.
And, now he spits fragments, grit, extended vowels and elongated syllables
over cracked lips. Their sounds fall
piling round his boots… ~ jeannerené
