Best Artisan Poems

Lacy nights with tender touches, oh, how I crave your embrace,
for I’ve never known something so beautiful as you, my sweet-
I use my charcoal to sketch your silhouette as the light dims your face,
for my parchment has thirsted for the curves of your waist.
Tracing each...

With each brush  s t r o k e  I sigh with pride,
         for on my canvas, I have nothing to hide-
A silhouette of a man who loves me so, 
   embracing all...

Across the table from an empty chair,
I sat and tried to sound interesting,
She stood so close and we discussed ice cream,
And Cornflakes, and bourbon, and the art scene,
The fact we both have lived in bungalows,
We had seen each other twice before this,
The second time was...

nature's artisan
busy spinning silver threads-
web cradles rain drops

she was an artisan masterpiece-
              delicately full of mystery,
yet colorful and magnetic.

                                        she drove me crazy,

Bits of what we had
Became unstrung, life then spun
Out of my control.
Then saw goodness of your soul...
Sadly cannot find them all....

Who has created deep azure sky,
In which, the clouds do love to float and sail? 
And who has embellished the butterfly 
With colorful beauty in detail? 
 
Who does shower the snow in the winter? 
In foggy days who spreads  mist curtains ? 
Who...

memory-the artisan
pasting collage to the mind
a slideshow of
highlights 
lowlights
blistered frames with no lights..
lives in speed of light review

a foxtrot of realist- impressionist
the mad-mad artisan
kneading frantic distortions
horrors
marbled 
with 
slivers of bliss
fun house deceptions
a lavender and piss checkered mix

good memories are nothing but escape
on a leaky life...

silhouette of touch
       beloved-
               lover's tender trace

Hands softened by diesel oil
Strengthened by daily toil
Scarred by physical work
Lie helpless while they talk
Softly of time and age and
The shifting of life's sand
The artisan listens sadly
Sixty years so badly wanted
Fifty nine years are granted
His life ends that terrible day
He has no reason to stay....

Artisan from Kenya worked hard on my locket.
I thought I had lost it, but it was in my pocket.
Have had many compliments on this one-of-a-kind treasure.
It has gemstones of ivory, opal, and it shines beyond measure.

I doubt that I will ever meet the craftsman in...

Strung along, I am a fool
Always working for others
Once branded a handy tool
Foot on my neck
Boot lodged for good
I barter and sweat
A soul without identity
I work and work
Free food and amenities
However no ambition for more
The days stretch together
A day's work leaves me sore
Trapped by a...
