Hues of Passion

I splash evening’s colors down the plain A red moon flames, shimmers yet I’m not done, While collage of stars appears in its wake To air-brush my canvas until morn. Not a wisp of air stirs the day’s pause These fingers stroking from mild to wild Mauve, then blue.. .a passion’s need, unbound, Unrestrained from conventional style. Visual wonder of hued etches Seep softly from a yawning duskfall… Enthralled, I endure all timeless hours Where vivid art makes me thirst for life As shades of pained faces, rocks, turn bright On acrylic fabric soaked with tears, Burning my heart with the lilt of joy A portrait which depicts my inner self. Frank Herrera’s Practiced Passion 11/21/2016
