![]() The Craftsman
The work of a master craftsman, his labours were passion Put his soul into his work, more than we can imagine He was the talk of village, his stall was swamped at the fetes Dioramas, his microcosms, worked on from dawn until late A creator of worlds, that he towered over; a giant Supplied to spoiled brats, Royal Rats, bowed to his clients It's a paradox to be a subject, but rule a thousand earths To build them by wood and paintbrush from tower tip to turf Then doff your cap to the officials as they tax you to poverty Barely pay your own rent but own a thousand properties The tortured artist hurts the hardest when he lets his creations go Sees his projects, all his children, as they skip down the road In the hands of happy customers, smiles of bliss from his love The rainbow of his colour palette is mixed with his blood In his dreams the figurines wave as they depart from home Hit the crossroads, lost souls, 'Don't leave!' a heartfelt groan Cold sweats in his lonely house, memories of a lost spouse Barren womb before the tomb, no seeds to grow before the drought Round hole in his heart these square pegs couldn't fill Beady eyes like twin voids in their heads give him chills Drove his art to greater heights, the cost was time, he'd pay the price To try to bridge the gap from lifeless kids to his wayward wife Trapped in limbo, this old man, surrounded by unfeeling toys Geppetto sent a prayer to a star one day he'd have a real boy |
