Analysis of Canvass

Saroja Allahar 1983 (San Fernando)



Time exists no more.
The pain of reality is lost.
With the touch of metal on skin
The release of pleasure beyond belief
Orgasmic without a single human touch
Where there once was emptiness
Now filled with joy and purpose
The canvass is blank no more
