the fearless artist

The Fearless Artist.
____________

Laughing..the
Voice said:

"What are Ye,
But a Hack
Artist full of
Old Ideas?.."

"How can
Thou expect to
Create Art,

From such
Antiquity?!"

"Dip now thy
Quill in Bloody
Ink..

and Fearless
Like The Dark
Thus Be!!"

"Show them..
(All!!)
The Horrors
of The Mind
they are Entering!"

"But Voice"
(said I.)

"I Fear This."

This Thing.."

"This Devil
which seems
to Sorely Occupy."

(My Head of
Suffering.)
__

"Be then A
Devil who
Exploits His
Pain!"

(the Voice
said.)

"Combining
Lies and Truth.."

"to make a
Mockery of
The Angels!"

(which Your
Pen has Slain.)

"Be now
The Artist
Dead."

(who shall
Live through
Words Again.)
