Noise In Her Mind

Noise in her Mind

I know her so well she came long ago to visit my being
                        we share beauty and bedlam boudoir and kindest of spirits

She walks like a cat woman hears like a bat feeds birds
            quietly she soothes thunder’s volcano howls with the wolves

Klimt’s Kiss Vermeer’s Girl With Pearl Earring Botticelli’s Venus Degas’s 
               Dancer In Repose Fedro’s Much Better With Age she
                             absorbs pastel and paint strokes symphonies on canvas
            so many facets big bangs and roaring giggling convulsions

Sometimes Woman Laughing from Goya’s dark paintings
                         a Broken Column like Kahlo’s when some Munch’s Scream
            invades and infests silence deep inside her beautiful scull

Voices shout from profuse directions focus condense and
                          refract confront tease torment disagree and interfere with
                   calm serene serenades when a few notes tender chords
          and accord vanish into cacophonies misleading the song

I know her so well admire her resilience and how she copes
                 with the noise the disruption and the ballet of so many
                       different views pandemonious clangour onslaught of turmoil
         as she appears calm on the surface orchestrates quiet composure

How she holds it all together I cannot really fathom with all that
                 jumbling distance so close and yet so far from my innocent mind

My Venus Of Milo has taught me so much most of it all and over
                     above that imperfection is a wonderful gift and very complete

Hi Kai, I always enjoy your abstract way with words and have to look hard to find the obscure meaning and a joy to find. I see you love a good painting and then you make a delicious mix of noise to go with it. Hope you are keeping the fort on your side of the river

The fort is fine and so is the river. And I only hear the noise by proxy...Thank Jannie...
