Van Goghs Ear

Van Gogh’s ear sings tales all night Soulful moaning over mind’s eye sight Antagonize the heart and turn the eye A visitor to the heart or passing by From this spring that we all drink What whispers all the thoughts we think Lunatic genius with eyes turned in Tell me where my mind has been A freighting tether is shelter and cage Where the writer’s pen touches page Ink’s fossil trail bleeding from my pen A history of where my heart has been To go and not say in doing so Beyond this point no words can go With feet of clay and hand to chalk I’ve come to hear Van Gogh’s ear talk
