Dry Masterpiece
Here it is:
you can sing it like
a chorus, if you wish.
Even paintings dream of dripping
blues, greens, and yellows.
They dream of their creator,
a talented but crazy fellow.
Every poem can be sung.
Every thought can be wrung,
twisted and sculpted,
ideas are meant to
be reused
(often, even abused.)
To the night’s shadows
and dreams’ desires,
I go like thunder
across the dark.
You’re a dry masterpiece
who can’t afford the
rain.
Or the sight
of darkness, nor pain.
Talk about unattainable
miseries,
Weep over love which
wilts,
The season of autumn dies
to winter,
Cold and wet,
I lean in an interesting tilt
to warm your eyes.
