In task
The taste of iron
Dampens the pallet
Artistry like no other
Skilled in execution
Adversities fate lies
Upon blank canvas
Vapid and untamed
Open yet foreboding
The glint in his being
A means of portrayal
Characteristic in task
Chill in finite result
In wake strides on
Stepping o’er past
Histories bedding
False mysteries

Hi! thank you for commenting on my recent poem. I like this a lot. you start the piece on a sensory note of smell, this is powerful and relates the reader to the piece. Its open meanings are clever too.The last line is lovely-Histories bending false mysteries is a great notion. :o)
