serendipity

a r t

this is a continuation of my previous poem which was pain

the painting hung on his wall
was always a major distraction
because it reminded me of us
the way the artist had put 
so much love into this painting
but no one seemed to appreciate it

it made me sad
no, it made me angry
at how it just stood there
hanging on the wall of a man's house
who bought it simply because it looked artistic

when there should be
books written about it
when there should be pages
and pages which described
its magnificence

when it should be
hung in museums
next to dali and van gogh

it was not beautiful
it was certainly not beautiful
but who says art needs to beautiful
it sparked emotions in me
it captured a piece of my heart
i was dumbfounded by it
and that is art

it was just two lines
of blue and red
going in different directions
but collided in the middle
and made this gorgeous shade of purple

the type of purple which
is in bolts of lighting
the type of purple which is
calming yet frightening

the type of purple which
is in the sky when the sun sets
and just like the sky becomes
darker after sunset

the purple became darker
and turned to blue once agin
the only difference was that
the red had ended
and the blue was more beautiful
as compared to what it
was in the beginning

i am the blue
and you are the red
you are
suffering for your crimes
while i am learning to move
on with my life

my friends tell me that
i have become more beautiful
not sure whether i agree with that
but something i certainly agree with
is that i have become stronger

after you destroyed me
after you left me on my own
after you broke me in pieces
i learned to pick them up
and i have you to thank

the canvas was stained by teardrops
a few lines with so much meaning
i am at loss of words
it is now i understand why they
aren't any books about it
because there are no words
that can articulate its greatness

my therapist smiled at me and said
powerful painting, isn't it?
i looked at him
and nodded with a sigh of relief
glad that someone else
appreciates this piece of art
