The Painter

In the middle of the night
as if struck by lightning
his eyes lit up.

Approaching his desk
He lit up his oil lamp.

Overwhelmed with so much inspiration
he strikes on canvas
with unbelievable precision
as if with life
the paints blend by itself.

He paints
like a devil possessed.

Suddenly
he stopped
and take a look
in his masterpiece

The once blank canvas
now seem breathing

Then
grabbing his oil lamp
he set the canvas
on fire.

Seeing how the flames
sear through his colors
he thought
how beautiful.
