Abstract Art

You are an abstract work of art
Everybody has their different opinions
To how your blend of stokes and personality
Are either beautiful or messy

Some may hate you
Others may love you for what you are
Someone who changes the way they see the world
With the swirls of your hair

I have never understood art
So that's why I never figured you out
How some days you're such a joy
And others you're confusing

But I do hope
That through the sketches
And the many colours
You love how you painted yourself

A New Year

Usher in a new year
With new beginnings
A fresh start
To not dwell on what was not done
But commemorate what was
A blank canvas rolls outward before you
Your hands quiver at the thought of change
But some things still stay the same
Like lips unkissed on new years day
Or the start of lonely lips
Ears that dread the coming ring of alarms
Bodies that only wake up to late mornings
Or early afternoons
And broken new years resolutions
By the first week of January
