Painter: Vicente Romero Redondo

I saw this painting from a poem posted by Brandy B, called “beauty dances” a wonderful poem I invite you all to read. From this photo, I wrote this story of pure fiction!

Also, its always nice to discover a great painter!

I see the pain Reflected via turquoise blue Of the oceans hue She stares out into the oceans depth Lost Her lover dead under the sea The waves have made her destiny I stare at her From a hill above the shore Her pain cripples me such That I can not move How can I love this woman so The small of her back Invites me to hold her Caress her tears into the sea The salt water offers comfort Massaging her feet The sun glitters with hopeful endeavors That neither of us feels at all I am in love with this woman Since a wee child long ago Her pain is my pain Yet my guilt I carry alone Tomorrow We both will stand hand in hand To bury her husband My brother As I keep secret my love and desire Only wishing her sadness to ebb Into the sea that took hold of part of me My brother I loved and honored So on the hill above the shore I stare at the woman I always adored Oh brother forgive me my thoughts As I wish to comfort your lovers broken heart
