Written Colours

Art in the blood takes many forms

Has many shades and hues

It's different lines and forms

Lines that zig zag and those that wave

Formed and formless

In some generations these lines are broken

Shattered in madness and bohemian tendencies

Pricking blood vessels in it's recipient that bleed out as ink for a suicide note.

Art in the blood can be a woman giving up her dreams of music to take care of her two offspring

It could be her son

A boy with a heart full of hybrids of his mother's dreams

A head filled with ideas

A pad and a pen,a keypad and a deluge of words and poetic devices

His hands shaking from the earthquake that is his heritage as he pens witha spirit filled quiver

Faith dripping from it's tip

Art in the blood can be God creating through man...
