While emotions lie bottled and confined
Expression lies just at the finger tips
Swirling through the bristles where paint will drip
Genuine sensation escapes the mind
As smooth graphite sketches a human hip
Or captures a memory from a trip
Art will keep your attention intertwined
As ideas flow through the charcoal you grip
Abstract and soulful works may just slip
Away to critic's eyes that are truly blind
To emotions hidden within sketched lips
Or painted eyes with tears ready to drip
The bond between an artist's work and mind
Is an everlasting relationship
While emotions lie bottled and confined
Expression lies just at the finger tips
Swirling through the bristles where paint will drip
Genuine sensation escapes the mind
As smooth graphite sketches a human hip
Or captures a memory from a trip
Art will keep your attention intertwined
As ideas flow through the charcoal you grip
Abstract and soulful works may just slip
Away to critic's eyes that are truly blind
To emotions hidden within sketched lips
Or painted eyes with tears ready to drip
The bond between an artist's work and mind
Is an everlasting relationship
