Best Artwater Poems


A Painted Muse

The lonely willows weep,
Streaming a river of tears.

Under the Giverny skies,
The water lilies dance,
Atop the glossy surface.

Reflections of peace,
For the creator.

The Japanese bridge arches,
Posing as a lonely muse
For the gifted soul of Claude Monet.

"Bridge Over a Pond of Water Lilies" by Claude Monet

Dark Language

Wanted to wear the grief  uncrying,
sitting on the bank, counting the waves,
watching the swaying of earthen lamps.

There was a little water on the moon,
charged atoms settling in the lap of a sponge.
The water becomes the moon,
floating on goat’s milk.

My descent starts to find the truth.
Where the water has gone from the eyes ?
The mirrors always tell the lie.

The headless body writhes in the dust,
words change the author of a murder.
A crowd finds a knife only.

Once again a century weeps !
