Love Poem: An Artist Knows

An Artist Knows

Received a letter this very day; bearing a tale of woe
Words detail a love now lost; as tears begin to flow

The mind does spin as whirligigs; emotions cast about
A life of love and devotion; cast asunder; simply thrown out 

An artist knows; that paint must flow to cover a broken heart
Brush strokes wipe the pain away; pain of two lives torn apart

Bold colors display the pain he could not hide; would not hide
The canvas now reveals what the artist feels; knowing a love has died
