Best Lichtenstein Poems


Premium Member We Rose Up Slowly Lichtenstein
I want to pour myself into you
   reciprocal medicine 
drink me in
    as I am 
  swallowed up in the moment
          pain relief
 as senses 
forget themselves
   ...

there's a start 
                       and there's a stop
    trickier to discern 
in the one dimensional
     I...

Premium Member Girl With Tear 1, Roy Lichtenstein
the tears blend into the background
my sadness in the foreground

shadows so minimal
   I shouldn't fall into them
   
the space around me disappears
      there is nothing to see or feel
       ...

Premium Member Reflections of Conversation - Roy Lichtenstein
billions of atoms go eye to eye,  
staring long enough for cellular renewal  
but not a change of heart ~
with its septillions of atoms.  

I'm disappearing.  
missing crucial elements:  
colour drained,  
to fill the backdrop more than me. ...

Premium Member Crying Girl - Roy Lichtenstein
It's nothing, the tear can be wiped away
The emotion neatly swept aside today
Discreetly dealt with, it's alright
I cried out my eye colour during my plight
The only indication of my altered state
Don't talk about it, or my sadness tinged fate 
Viewed close up there is no...

Premium Member Varoom! - Roy Lichtenstein
Nothing is heard as my mind explodes,  
the debris contained as time itself slows.  
Yet it all goes so quickly, leaving nowhere to turn,  
as exhaustion sets in, I just let myself burn.  

I stare at the canvas, trying to think,...

Premium Member Modern Art 1 Roy Lichtenstein
Your beauty is componentially clear 
All perfection, from eye to nose to ear
Delicate arrangement, however it's displayed
Russet red lips, in a most delicious shade
An iris coloured ethereal blue
I'm reduced to pieces looking at you
I close my eyes to reimagine what I see
Order is returned as...

Premium Member Brushstroke Roy Lichtenstein 1965
this is by my hand
         a mark made, a soul's expression
   the temptation is to make too many
     but there's beauty in less
  machines can print copy after copy

Premium Member Lichtenstein Mustard on White
You can go too far
I could go too far
In the pursuit of shocking oneself into life
Take a whole dollop of stomach ache
Shovel in it
Masquerade it as something innocuous 

Now I like mustard
And I like people who like mustard 
But without wishing to state the obvious...

Premium Member Still Life with Table Lamp, Lichtenstein
Sometimes the information just stops
It's all squared off, but it feels too little
Perhaps we can't trust what we see
Maybe everything is between the lines
All I need for this image is stored already
I've read that paper in the dim light
Placed it there in another reality
I'm within...
