Holding Me Here For You

Droplets of sea awaken from inside a dream pouring painted thoughts onto this crumbled canvass yellows wrap the base pulling me into you whites and the blues float off into the distance with the red sinking ever deeper and true Brush away the indiscretion dripping from the west round up the ashen tones of blush dabbed in lunar specks of dust cover the past as it attempts to bleed out and in holly bough eyes spring affection traced and trapped in a place looking back peel off the glue holding me here for you

I love this one Tim. You have done so well with the painting theme. I paint and could really relate to this poem. :)

Superb writing Tim! The vibrancy of your words intensify the emotions to a whole other level. It bites that you know of these feelings to express them so vividly yet your words really feel alive, and that's at least a beginning :-) Another great title too, to match the great craftsmanship. blessings, lynn

Wow, is all I can say. Reminds me of what a picasso painting would say if it could talk!

Makes me want to paint. One of the best I have read by you, Tim: They say a poem isn't successful unless it changes you. I felt the deep introspection in this. Brava...a FAV. Hugs, SuZ

I thought it was a lost weekend or a gas issue until I read the last two lines, deeper than normal, still well done...

Real psychedelic poetry, Tim. I get the gist of it though. Did you and your honey just move into a new house? Or are those acid-residue memories of past housewarming rituals. Lol! Nice, spaced out poem. Love and peace.

What kind of medication are you on, Tim? Very nebulous, my friend.

That is a picture you are painting. Or rather, slowly removing parts and specs mof dust, and thus slowly starting to end a connection. That is an awesome image you're giving me here. This is deep, and I think what I am saying doesn't do it right....You're such a wonderful poet :)
