The Painter and The Poet

Fantasies pierce their hearts and souls
  by a haunting murderess in the night so still
With quickened breaths and beating hearts
  they grasp their brush and quill.

Their passionate words and colored hues
  expressed on pages of white
Bring forth the haunting murderess
  from the blackness of the night.

Like chafe separating in the wind
  so must their works be.
Holding prisoner, a moment in time
  capturing it's beauty, for all to see.
