Uecker became a success, he certainly did not f...

                   fair bliss

             mosaic

A Flashback of Schiele

...There is a
Strange quality to my memory of Albertina and 
Leopold's corner at 
mulled wine scented streets I walked
covered with a veil of calmness but 
A few things were somehow not

Belvedere

the cool night had us tucked in tight,

over the vanity that her husband had built.
Someone had removed its mirror,
oh, long ago 
and put it in the alcove with the window
so she could sit and look over the cemetery ...

Premium MemberThe Kiss of Klimt

...I hurried through the halls of Belvedere
To reach the floor where I could see “The Kiss”
The place I’d find his artwork was so near
I finally came upon it, joyous bliss!

It hung there straight ...

Nonsense

...Problems in the mirror may be further than they appear
Don’t fear when they’re near, they’ll soon disappear

Adorn

...I planted this garden to enjoy.
Photosynthesis comes from the sun.
The white orchids set to the east.
The daffodils are astray.
The roses are a spread on a rack.
The tulips and morning glory are in a...

Mr. Belvedere Doesn'T Live Here............

...Parents are so busy and pre-occupied with their 
own lives,
They never flinch when the doorbell rings twice,
They yell for the children to open the door,
Chastising them forevermore.......

Mannequin Dreams

...Falling from forty clouds,
ticking clocks melting time.
Penguins that waddle backwards,
church bells that never chime.

Costume heros reading books,
birds parting their horizon sea.

A Demented Soul

...The doctor injected something in me when I was just a embryo!

The Black Mirror

...Glossy and translucent face, as a cold night
Into your desert of darkness there is no star
Only a black moon and a deep scar by diamond
Feelings traveling by trails on high cliffs,
Looking for in...

Adieu

...My rose unfurled, withered in my eyes,
And thorns endured where dainty petals aught;
On scented breath exhaled beguiling lies,
And morning weeps, unblushed, for love is naught.

When They Met. Part I.

...When Socretes, Plato and Aristotle teamed,
the line between the will to learn married the will to teach.
When Raphael, Leonardo, and Michael lived at Belvedere,
Art would see her form take shape a...
