The paint not quite dry
The strokes vivid and strong
Hues of violet and amber
A masterpiece set aside
Each color painted with longing
A portrait of all that is true
A faceless canvas of yearning
Uncompleted from hapless youth
Before the callousness sets in
A fragmentary work of art
Placed in an abandoned corner
Forgotten in life’s hurts
