Premium Member Marcel Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase and the Politics of Art
Ahead of her time
A cascade of lines

Crossed

The least of which was nudity

Premium Member Dusk Descending On the Shore
Dusk descending on the shore -
My eyes engorge themselves on orchid and wisteria swirls 
which frost a blue-cake cotton-candy sky.

Peacefully, deeply, I draw in breath to savor
that special flavor of the sea. Its salty tang
delectably has mingled with the lime of my man's cologne.

Suddenly,the screech...

Descending Sun




Setting sun indoctrinates an ascent,
Even smallest ants can cast,
Obvious long shadows !

Premium Member Nude Descending a Staircase
The canvas is painted in ochres and browns
Suggesting a figure, the staircase coming down
Be it masculine or feminine is for your mind to see
The artist’s title denotes it descends in nudity.

The body parts are not displayed so exact
Demonstrating movements that appear somewhat abstract
Stare as long...

Premium Member Nude, Descending a Staircase
Nude, Descending a Staircase*


Nude, descending a staircase.
Sunlight gleaming off the smooth curves
of the still warm, wet, torso.
Soft foamy shampoo halo
surrounding mounded hair,
damp, hurried footprints follow.

Squinting eyes peer through
gossamer curtains,
impatiently waiting in anticipation,
a noonday rendezvous.
A whispered exchange
in the cooling breeze of open door,
exciting the senses.

Climax…words uttered
in...

Descending Peace
After a hard day 
a game-changing starts, 
igniting the night.

You are buried 
in stitches. The wounds 
are devoid of blood.

Will you split the- 
silence along the words ?
There was no awareness now.

A persona 
becomes a revolution. The streets 
are painted red.

The monument 
drifts. You wash...

Love Descending Upon An Angel
Looking up at the sky, up in the air so high
Moving like a bird, time fiercely passing by.
You and I together, at each others side
Waiting for a full moon, until the highest tide.

To you my dearest, my true love for you is so
Love only for...

Forty Six and Two Is Descending
Orienting 
A time of pain
Lost in your mind
Playing games
The will of hers
Is strong like his
Soothing like furs
The weakest wills
Without domination
Or scepters gaze
No one will beat sin
Or get past this phase

The few have seen it
The few do know
Majority fails
While shadows glow

Walking the path
Is older now
Then gliding...

Premium Member divinity descending -
   oh, the so-sublime motion of your sway
 dressed in naught but the moon's wisps
sole fascination of the gods themselves
 should Valhalla ever hold the refinement
    to abide such flawlessly beguiling rhythm …

How Far Down Do You Need To Go
How far down do you need to go_
~to stand face to face and toe to toe_
~with that no-good son of a so and so?
Taking not only yourself but all you know.
Descending from on high to deep below_


How many of your friends are now your foe?
Rejecting...
