I Drew a Blank

Arranging his pens, he thought to himself She said she wanted me to draw her love and showcase it at my art show next week Abstract or traditional...what to do? I could try to capture her bubbly smile She is effervescence personified... Or turn my canvas into a mirror to draw her eyes, ah...there would be her soul Can her love be seen in flower blossoms So many types of petals and colors A sunrise may showcase her love's luster Though beauty may be found in a sunset Sunset indeed...he decides what to draw... Art show opens to much paparazzi They can't wait to see how he drew her love Big reveal...and she can't quite catch her breath He says... Breathtaking huh? Hard decision... Focus on the rapture you used to give or on the desolation I feel now Yes, I know...you don't love me any more Surprised? Only because I know the truth How cruel to request me to draw your love How can I draw what no longer exists? So, that being the case, I drew a blank... 5/12/16
