The painters room held secrets of the misfortunes caused by the painters hand

And sorted with those brushes and paints hid lies for demand

Strokes of envy cover the walls and beings around him

For his talent is that of everlasting life, so grim,

Unfinished and weary, he becomes aware of the agony from his main picture.

Crimson metal graces the tip of his tongue

as the barbed fantasy of his preferences shatter his ability to love

Crimson metal is the liquid that shows the significance of satisfaction

A streak of red across every canvas to show him in action.

Tainted blood courses his mind

It is a sweetness, with the divinity to be so utterly blind

He paints himself to forget,

but also to admit that he is his favorite shade of wine

So divine.

The stroke of his paint brush finally reveals the hidden truth

Of the twisted and broken spines of proof

That lie, so casually amid the floor of sand,

Sinking with every movement of his strained hand

It is a breath of fresh air, in the gardens of Florence that sets him free

And the weeping winds from the trees,

For soul and flesh is what he feasts upon

Of which he now accepts is nothing wrong,

In the era of an Italian renaissance

They scream "Arte!"

"Dove lo spirito non lavora con la mano, non c'è arte!" -Leonardo De Vinci
