What does a muse do to a person to make them paint like Picasso in this style?

Picasso In Estrus

10/25/25

I am in the heat of my moment

Frenzied by instinct..

I feel you near..

And I succumb.

So much so..

that I fail purposely in my endeavor,

give a mangled vision of what I see..

what I feel,

what I desire.

And so I paint my lack on canvas black

Adding colors..

Adding lines..

tho not the mind..

nor e'en heart..

that paints.

I am in the throes of my primal being..

it is what I give to you..

not picture perfect..

but to what I am reduced.

Unwavering,

Unapologetic lines on canvas,

your image in my soul

as the lust,

dethrones the art..

..PEACE
