by Sze-Leng Tan
A stroke of volcanic crimson
A splash of navy blue
A brush of drab dullness
A line of raven omen
A life of pitch darkness
A frame for close entrapment
In an empty stale chamber
Filled with the blessing of a falling angel
A hand as free as the mind that dictates it…
A mind full of landscape
Illustrating an impotent desire…
Showcasing a stifled inspiration…
Leaving nothing
…………………………….but blank desolation
To an artist with the courage
……………………………………of a bleeding tiger
