Forgery
As my life matures I have never seen
The whole world for what it is.
This blank canvass I paint
Becomes wider each day,
With each step, each breath I take.
Now as I look into your eyes
My border for this mural doubled,
Yearning for your art to spill into mine.
These sploshes of green manifesting as they dry
Hardened to see themselvess a whole
But half of one color,
And two of another.
The splatters of crimson paralel
The page with their intolerant foward focus.
Their lies from the brush,
Scared to see the actuality
Together this crimson and green
Spspread the color of brown,
A hatred acacross my Mureil
Killing all beauty within.
Disintegrating the stitching
Between my loves and mine.
As her colors fade to white
I begin hers a new
Although not hers
A blackened paradise
A rainy heaven.
A lost memory.
With my black paintbrush
I spread to all others.
Wanting to show
Her pice of art gone,
Theirs will be too.
With each stroke
Each toss of the bucket
I see less.
More black
More hate
But never again will it be brown
For black beats brown.
