Faded pigments of color,
Spilled water all over,
Torn paper
Disaster!
Gone the dedication and obsession,
The oil that run through my veins,
My motivation
Lubricating and painting
The paint that textured my vision.
Once beautiful
My world’s now an acrylic illustration
Losing color
A child’s play with crayons
Image pixelation.
Eyes closed, heart open
Shading red, blue, green
And everything in between
A familiar face emerges
Strained and refined
Long ebony hair
Pastel pale skin
Tinted gray lips
Highlights over the eyes
Dark brown with a sparkle of life.
Mixed artistic expressions,
Misplaced intentions
Black and white
Ink and graphite
A coal creation
Charcoal manipulation.
The portrait emerges,
Independent in thought and mind
It lives
No more shades
No more binds
For once it stands out
Face bright
Beyond the frame and glass
Looking torwards the light
She speaks out.
“Why” as tears roll out.
Her first words are shocking,
All my blindfolds fall
Transfixed and confused
My heart gives way.
Why doesn’t she smile?
Why does Mona Lisa cry?

Cry Lisa, Why?
