Hidden Narratives An Ekphrasis

HIDDEN NARRATIVES -an Ekphrasis
A romantic,wistful view of the past
in the music of colour,veiled by meaningful
shadows. Enigmatic roads to nowhere,
old footprints in the sand, a longing for 
yesterday..today.
Remains of love, moments in time in
that perfect world of nostalgia.Stylistic
short stories in paint... in ..hidden narratives.

Ekphrasis tribute  to and inspired by the art of Jack Vettriano (the 'Scottish' Edward Hopper in my opinion)

You may hear me recite this and most of my PS poetry on youtube under the pen name ichthyschiro
