Museless

I sit before a blank canvas
My palette has run dry
The colours that she gave have faded away

The rainbow hovers dovelike
frightened to descend
Everlasting but in another sky

She chose her course
She took the river
She knew the seas she was sailing for
and her course was on the chart
Could not be persuaded
Temptation had left her
Ship in a bottle existence is all she lived for

And so I sit with empty glass in hand
The tap, it holds no more
and the flow that she created has been dammed

Her ghost still lives on this wind
seldom whispering
Bound to another fate in another sky

She chose her course
She took the river
She knew the seas she was sailing for
and her course was on the chart
Could not be persuaded
Temptation had left her
Ship in a bottle existence is all she lived for

So what did I do wrong...?
So what could I have done...?

Now it’s raining on the canvas
The easel ready to fall
In another time it withstood the strongest gale

Her promises were shattered
and beliefs were so naïve
Screaming and dreaming is all I have left

She chose her course
She took the river
She knew the seas she was sailing for
and her course was on the chart
Could not be persuaded
Temptation had left her
Ship in a bottle existence is all she lived for

And she’s selling her soul for security
And she’s selling her dreams for the tide
And her footsteps still lie in the shores that she left behind
And her scent, it still drifts on the wind and lives on in my mind

Phil,
this speaks loudly...and eloquently beautifully.
I won't quote a certain part. I can't. It's impossible.

That's all I will say.
Very well written.

Thanks for the comments, ladies. This one was painful to write.

You can tell this one was painful to write, you can tell there's a lot heart gone into it.

I particularly like the line "Everlasting but in another sky" which I think is so fitting in this sort of situation. It could be adapted to a few different meanings, but I think that you can feel that somethings lost and ended and I love your metaphors throughout.

Really nice, wistful piece.

Dreamy,

This was great. I really felt the lyrics here. Thanks for sharing this piece of your heart with us.

I always love a good song that reflects painting. That's so my style! Love it!
