Best Charcoals Poems

So… during basketball season… our manager, Anna,
             would sit by me on the bench.

After Christmas, 
I told her about Nana drawing with charcoals. 
I told her about how I wanted to buy her...

Do you really think, that I am going to trade my eternal soul,
for your bowl of germ infested puke? Think again!

O' sullen sullies of darkness....

How you often paint yourself so very innocent and pretty

While you drool at the corners of the edges of jagged

Within...

The muted tones of yesterday...
Soft pastels of kids at play--
Lovers on a summer's day,
Charcoals of a moonlit May.

But watercolors fade away--
So too, the moonbeam's downy ray.
Some paintings seem to change that way...
How fleet, the hues of yesterday!

Plants, Trees, Hills, and Grass

White shed black trim corner back

School and Park with kids

Path near fence where two dogs track

Green, Brown, Orange, Yellow, Red, Black

 

Five Pines fifty years

Rock garden and sidewalk near

Lilac Bushes two

Squirrels, Chipmunks, Birds fly through

Expanse of sky white and blue

 

Back...

Gazing admiringly upon her mesmerizing photo; lovely
Her spellbinding in beauty's enchanting, Gypsy Queen...
Never having truly been one whom delves into pictures
That they might take flight beyound, their still frames ?
Not amid this light surely these, her hues; quiet refrain
Poetics muse; etched of charcoals splendours a...

Into the grooves of sunset fair

when meadows forget time of hours
 
I climb inside the worlds and dare
 
to relish the budding of flowers

where charcoals play around bonfire
 
wrapped  in hues of different skin
 
starlight glows with your eyes' pyre
 
meeting you as we...

SKETCHING

charcoals soft lines
in varied shades of grey
birds in flight their feathers spanned light
captured in detail through blue heavenly heights
an artist’s creation emerges
blank pages come to life
with every stroke

sketch a “Verreaux Eagle” in the Champagne Valley Drakensberg)

Iniquities vertical archways 
Traversing twilights retro
Drafted abysmal shadows
Aneath the roses bush...
Coloured acrylic murals 
Acidics transcending 
Medievils vague ambulant 
Abstract mystique ?
Embellished cerium 
Charcoals as that of gothics 
In vitro; masque'd
Achromatic architectural 
Envisioned designs...
Gomorrah's holistic 
Gargoyles; a black plagues 
Overture amid, Nefarious
Nepenthes, garden of her eden....

The time to be born has come and gone

 The present we know about her is our history

 A manifest to her existence in the map and in the head.

 This time is yet to unveil her bystanders.

 Though in written, she is known to...

Magical Malediction of Exasperated Want,

Passion Fruit splayed Eyes of the World

For Christmas Charcoals

And Incinerated House Hold Pets

Don’t want to be left out 

In the cold cold Ugliness,

Now Would’ ya?

After a long time
you invited me to keep
Feet on your dream land
To invade your heart !

After a long fight
I was defeated by me
Defeated by your wild desire !
Now –
I am singing
The fifth symphony of first Shower !

Now, I am playing guitars on my heart
With tunes...

An empty studio:
the man of the passionate handwriting
belts his dog

come my glory, my plebeian bride
hamster bagels

glitter indeed:
meticulously chosen bbq charcoals
as whimsical jewellery

“I’m so on fire and hear the wind”

Your grabbers, call them back 
let me   su.su

“No, don’t touch me now,
let me talk”...

Rippling winds sandunes of time,
taking me back as I hear a faint chime.
rolling rows of golden wheat,
as my heart dances and skips a beat.
Bursts of laughter fading off in the distance,
it plays in my mind as I fight the resistance.
Sapphire skies and charcoals of gray,
these...
