Notes About The Poem

Vincent V Gogh Starry Night Painting

Vincent
from within sanctum dykes
glamour
birthed from sorrow

celestial brightness
whirling
in Prussian azure
and sublime gold

Urania in the welkin'
blackness in the spirit
breezes probes hefty
all alone in your wisdom

an optical lover
within
dancing with orbs
through gaps with iron rods

go bust in flesh
your title
always
moored in the starlit darkness.

I like the depth of the imagery in this one, Lasaad. The darkness told his story as much as his art. Bill
