Poison driping from his brush
he paints his own corrupted truth
of evil in a maiden's blush
and demons in a laughing youth

Beneath his feverish shaking hands
Hell begins to take it's shape
Whilst he revels in the lands
of madness and of no escape

With raging self destructive zeal
He throws himself into his art
and paints emotions all too real
The product of his broken heart

Now held in shackles born of paint
The torture of the wounded saint
This one kept creeping up on me all through the day, so I eventually conceded and decided to write it down. It was meant to be part of the masquerade series but it didn't quite fit the tone.

This is really nice. Have you seen the movie "Across the Universe"? The scene where Jude is "painting" with strawberries is what comes to mind when I read this. Great job!
