Art work!

You said:
you were able to sketch
all at once:
the 'truth' and the' lie'!
the 'real' and the 'unreal'!
the 'dark' and the 'light'!

Since
you weaved from the beginning:
a shrewd game plan, where
your 'unreal' was the 'real'
your 'lie' the 'truth'
your 'dark' the white!
so don’t you confess, your truth was not the truth!
nor the white a white, or the real a real?

But then
how were you able to see
all at once:
when you never had eyes to see
but empty sockets
that holds images captives.
Or did you sleep
in the well of your ignorant eyes
in the light
of an absence mirror
that you found yourself unable
to draw
even a passing image!
Or
was it something missing in your sketch?
perhaps some more glass, pen and paper
Or perhaps.....
the ink of our blood
so that these would come together
in an enchanting image
to make you pleased
for your art work?
