Description
Turn the knobHear the door gently creak.
The doorway to imagination
the doorway to inspiration
the doorway to dreams
the doorway to nightmares.
Glide across the studio
toward the corner
toward the glass
toward the canvas...
toward everything and nothing
at the same time.
Take the brush
(type the words)
Choose the color
(or emotions???)
Concentrate....
(open your eyes to your heart)
Frenzied painting
(type faster, faster!
before it leaves again!)
Exhaustion
Sit in the chair
(smell the new/old dust)
observe the work
(read the words)
feel the brush fall to the floor
(take your hand off the keys)
Hits the floor with a sound oddly
like thunder. Disturbing the silent
sanctuary of this place.
(File...Save....Close...)
Select the perfect frame
(Which category to submit?)
That one...in the corner.
Oak inset...hand crafted..velvet mat.
Yes.....perfect
(Hmm....Emotional I think)
Hang it on the wall for all to see.
But where?
(Title...File...Description...
Hesitation...is it good enough?
Will it get laughed at?
Will it destroy what little
respect I have here?)
So many choices...
By the door...
(Close the eyes)
Hear the canvas gently scrape the nail
(gently glide the mouse...
Submit...)
Click.
Rise from the chair
(put the keyboard away)
Walk across the studio
(always present yet never there)
One last look at past accomplishments
One last scent of sweat and tears
One last stroke of the keyboard
before closing the door
to the Studio of The Mind
until next time...

Heh, some people say my being a bit of a perfectionist hinders my poetry....
Thanks for the comments, liek I said this one was a bit of an experiment for me. I tried to get down what i feel every time I submit something here. I always hesitate before I submit (most always anyhow) wondering if this is worth submitting or just some piece of crap I banged out. *shrug*
Thanks for the encouragement guys,
Laterzzz

ah just go look at your wife or a tree again, I like your romantic ones better!
hehehe j/k Wes...
definetly not your style but a nice change at that
you always write w/ such emotion, that your words can be felt so no matter the style it still takes us readers for a small trip...
(but go look at your wife again, those are the bestest ones!) hehehe

oh, this is awesome. I think I've tried to capture this in a couple of my other works, but have come nowhere near the perfection you have achieved here. Excellent stuff...

For you created my inmost being. You knit me together in my mothers womb.
