Notes About The Poem

Was a pleasure collaborating wtih Becca Teagan.

Colours Collaboration With Becca Teagan

My pen strives to flow,
saturate virgin fibers
crisp, cool and clean, 
desires to spread
through virtuous threads 
with thoughts, reflections, 
colors from within -

yet at any given time 
I’m tempted to resign;
my thoughts are faded, 
my ink runs dry.  

When your mind is weary 
and words silently suppressed
like an empty fountain
your muse drains with scarcity -
take my palette,
let your artistry flow,
Illuminating barren scripture. 

With you, my colors shine
more richly, my ink flows 
to satisfy my need
to touch, and be touched 
by beauty. 

Together
we observe in clear definition
as unblemished pages 
are no longer innocent.

Silent One collaboration with Becca Teagan
Collaborated 3 July 2017

Very intense poem, SO and Becca. Maturation of being is in the pen vine of this sweet cluster of joy. Visceral and cerebral poetry combined. Powerful innervisions drawn deep from the core. Splendid collab. Love and smiles
