painted, waste of paint. i had a friend once and his clothes were always spotted like my mothers. in that way he reminded me of home. but, this was more romantic than home. it was like some one elses home, i thought about it every time i saw him. i think i fell in love the first time i saw those blue and green drips on his clothing.

What started as an activity ended in misfortune. The splattered paint on her hands was only a mere symbol of the broken glass before her. With tears in hand, her mother picked her up, gave her a brush, and let her pain again.
These days are painted
with pain and struggle and growth.
We try to pretend that the nights
are not just sessions of TV re-runs
and more and more gallons of scotch,
but we cant see past the haze that we’ve
put up around our hands to see that
they’re pail.
Could we be growing up,
Or just aprart…?
I drove by the brick house that had been painted white what seemed like a million years ago. Growing up down the street I told myself, “one day I’ll be an adult and I’ll get married and I’ll come back and buy this house.” That’s exactly what I had done. My husband Bryan and I hadn’t even known each other for three days before I took him here. He saw how much I loved it. In my eyes, in my smile. He said it “radiated” from me. Whatever that meant.

so i thought, and he thought… and then we waited.
who am i to suggest that anyone remove their clothing.
it’s a intimacy, he says.
and i believe him.
i remove them. and he paints. who am i to disagree.

Her hands were painted with the blood of her brothers, the result of an unfortunate event due to misnavigation. Never again did the moon look so sad as what started as a fun play day ended as a day of unforgettable sadness. One crossed border resulted in two ended lives. The girl’s paint was dry.
It was ink and it was blood and it was the dried resin, the blood of the trees, powdered and mixed together. The colors were red and green and blue. They ran in lines down her body, tracing curves and patterns that spoke of things best left unsaid, but better even still, seen.
I want to paint a girl sitting cross legged on my wall next to that flower. That flower will always remind me of you now, how you used to tell me that you were falling in love with me, and that you actually payed attention to how many petals were missing. I loved that you payed attention. I love that you still do. I simply, love you.
I looked around as I painted my picture. It wasnt as good as all the other kids around me, but i liked it. It was what i wanted to put on the paper, not what the rules of the project said. Because art wasn’t just a bunch of rules, it was whatever i painted.

fences. like the one tom sawyer has to paint for his aunt polly. the one he cleverly gets other kids to paint for him by making it seem like the greatest job ever. toenails, mine are red right now, but the polish is flaking off.

the door is creaking lowly, swaying in the broken window’s breeze, the paint is peeling slowly, falling off and curling. the door to the place you want, want, wanted to be the place you can’t- won’t ever be.
The painted sky was smeared with salmon pink and lavender purple and sherbert orange. The trees sliced silhouettes out of the background. She was mesmerized by the incredible sight; how could such a thing exist in such a world so dark?! Its amazing what we miss when were waiting for our demons to find us again.
I painted on my smile, as I did every morning. Bright, bloody fantastic red lipstick. It brought out the perfect white of my teeth while giving a slight nod to my gruesome interior. I wasn’t ever perfect, no matter how hard I tried, but when I put on my daily mask, I could pretend like I was flawless. As long as I smile, they might believe me, and if they believe it, perhaps I can too.
They paint their faced and put on their skates. Ready to do battle. Circle after circle, jam after jam. These painted roller derby all-stars…smart, sexy, viscious women. Incredible athletes. God I love this sport.
It was 3am. The telephone had fallen to the floor and a breeze blew the curtains aside. A chill went through my body, entered my spine and went down through my center… a reminder of the frigid weather and the unwelcoming blackness beyond the window ledge. I thought about sleeping, curled myself into the warmth of my comforter and let my eyes shut but my body was anxious for some unknown desire and I soon sat up. Moonbeams stretched around my toes as I searched for what I would need. With tools in hand, I grabbed a glass of water and sat on the glowing floor. I stretched my arm across the canvas, casting shadows in its wake, a simple reflection of the night. As I painted the sound of snow crinkled softly at my ear, with a glance at the window then back down to my work I added in this delicate flurry. – Really by me xo Lili
Lili
Masks, hidden behind painted faces. Don’t show them how you really feel. Keep yourself closed off, like a book that has been shut. Slam the door to your past, that’s not who you are anymore. Paint on a calm face, don’t let him see the truth. He’s not supposed to be a part of this new future. Why can’t you just say no?
Painted are my nails. Painted is my wall. I have painted many walls. Sometimes I would like to paint the world around me, just cover everything up and start anew. Cover everything that makes me miserable and keep what makes me happy and fills me with joy. I love to paint! And I love colors. Colors express my moods, they know my soul. I could color every aspect of my life in order of color preference. Color is everything!

When I was little I painted pictures of flowers and made a little book out of it. They were flowers like in Meme’s garden like lillies and irises and coxcomb. I wanted them to look like Monet.

The painted sky was smeared with salmon pink and lavender purple and sherbert orange. The trees sliced silhouettes out of the background. She was mesmerized by the incredible sight; how could such a thing exist in such a world so dark?! Even more, how can we be so angry while such things exist! Its amazing what we miss when were waiting for our demons to find us again.

The situation Ushio’s fellow officer painted over the radio was as confusing as it was annoying. The man groaned and rubbed his face with one hand. “Tell Takana, not me. Like I said I’m in interrogation right now.” Yusei snickered some more.
“But…!”
“No buts! I’m busy! Just tell me before you get the camera rolling again.”
KCO
He painted the walls with a fresh coat of white primer. “A fresh start,” she thought as she finished the last corner. If only it was that easy. She looked down at her paint samples, unsure of where to start. The neutrals just didn’t seem to cut it. She picked up her sketch book and began to fill the page with bright colors; “Now that is more like it.”
I once happened upon a painted sign while surfing the web. it was a stop sign, with a shadow painted on the concrete. it was a silhouette, but with “war” instead of stop. Made me hesitate for a moment, realizing how the world is so contradictory.

Painted faces on parade.
walking the streets
with smiles
looking like they are painted on
plastered on
false
fake
unbelievable
but do we notice?
no because we just try and keep our own up.
to guard us from anything that may cause us
pain.
On canvas, beautiful vibrant colors that appeals to the eye. Beautiful emotion that screams happiness. Once painted, never gone.
Jessica
like a house my friend. ain’t no better way to paint a house than with explosives. should probably be an outdoor paint if you’re going the explosives route though. you’re going to need a really durable paint. but don’t take my word for it. I’m just lavar burton, whta do I know abount this “painted” business. What can I say, the recessions been tough on us all.
Annie
We painted on the canvas until the image appeared. The vision was to paint a portrait of a lady having high tea. But, once the image took shape it appeared our “lady” looked more like a little girl wearing her mother’s large hat and over-sized white gloves.
Donna Smith
toes and walls. and cracked ceramics. colors bright and luminescent. chipped. glossy. feverous. polished. wrinkled nose.
delaney
she storked the opi color onto her chipped nails trying to cover the shame of what she had done. But cococabana arange just wasn’t doing the trick for her this time. She knew she was in a desperate situation. One that no amount of nail polish was going to cover.
Deanna
elvis costello and burt bacharat. Painted from Memory is what I listen to at work, over and over again. Outside, across the street, people fire up the bbq pit. They must have a better job than I do. Hurumph.
I was able to paint a bedroom and iu liked the color very much. I love the color blue. more like a cornflower gry blue maybe with some yellow. I will alwasy like the color blue. It maybe my favorite color. I like to paint with the color Blue.
Kyla

Kyla
i opened up a door to a room that’s painted blue
i gave myself a second chance- that’s when i met you.
making friends with all the bands that were coming through;
anytime i’d stop by there’d be someone there to talk to.
We sold the house since then
groups scatter to the wind
goodtimes end

(open your eyes and you’ll find love)

I was walking around new york city and i saw an amazing painting, that was painted by a young artist. The artist looked quite sad and depressed, i asked him why and he just said, “im not havingn a good day”.
Yeah, I’m a painted clock, so what? Better than being a painted butt. Like some people I know. Not saying who or anything, just that’s it’s better than being a painted butt. You know. Yeah.
So anyway. The reason I’m a painted clock is I was always asking to be one. So, in absence of being a painted butt, one day I was just become the painted clock.
