Best Paint A Picture Poems

Pull out the easel
   set the canvas 
    positioned long and slender clean slate.
Sketch the figures huddled and dark-bound hostage
   to charcoal-cooled coals 
    etching in shadow images;
Faceless entities 
   slipping in and...

I tried to paint a picture, Dear, of you,
But there was no right color that would do.

There is no blue that ever could display
The tranquilness with which you face each day.

I think no shade of red I’ll ever find
To match the utter passion of your...

If I had to paint a picture of me loving God what would I see?
would I see a portrait of a person who walks in truth and honesty?

In order to paint a picture of me loving God 
I would have to access all the experiences...

Image 1.

As platinum clouds drift by,
sea breeze in early evening,
kisses ripples on incoming tide.
Dusk's sun reflects upon veranda,
as nanna's armchair rocks gently.

Paint a picture with your mind
Dust out your cluttered head
Close the outer eye and open 
Imagination’s keenest eye within

See now grassy hills that rise and fall
See the crisp blue stream that winds along
Now the downy clouds reflected in
The water far below its floating waves

Hear the...

The Dancer and the Duende

Red skirt! Lithe body! She dances!
Flagging voluminous curtains of crimson, 
daring the Duende to charge ---
she catches
his face, 
his beard,
his breath;
stealing its petals with her teeth, she spins!
Dared to take it back,
he comes,
seizing the dusk with both hands,
for tomorrow, 

the hibiscus...

A woman of intrigue behind his imagination
Peeking boldly through painter's hesitation
Living through ages of welcome admiration

Intended as a beautiful but stealth creation
Partial facial view subject to interpretation
Peeking boldly through painter's hesitation

Slender fingers point green eyes wide open
Clasped hands invite curious speculation
Partial facial view subject to...

The Old Stones and the Finch

Gravestones are made of granite;
I guess to hide the dirt, 
so people don't have to come as much
to clean them. 

I hate you're down there
in a vault of cement. 

I want to take a jackhammer 
and set you free!

See how...

Paint a picture of a mountain scene with colors of autumn a glow
Paint in white, the highest peak, first of a winter snow
Then somewhere in the distance, the hint of a waterfall,
let it cascade down into a little creek, on the bank, a rotting log
Let...

He paints a picture of the mountains,
And he sings his songs with love,
He caresses my soul and woes me with his music,
I love his sound and his appearance is loving and kind,
His friends are a blessing to be with,
I have never encountered the ability to...

Sparkles glisten off a misty shoreline
Light reflects off a history of tales never to be told
It cannot speak nor can it share the thoughts of a thousand years
Miles and layers of ash, rubble, and lifeless pieces to an unsolved puzzle lay beneath

Few will share the...

STILL LIFE

flowers for a friend,
he still holds.
a silent pause.
holding his breath.
he stares at the cold
gray stone,
as if, it was all alone.

his eyes are numb,
no tears yet flow.
heart squeezes tight,
remembering this young man
he grew up with.

tortured by his friend’s descent
into the demonic control of heroin,
and how...

Paint, splattered.  Embarrassed, ashamed
Textured canvas, screams in vain
Black ink, bled through
Joining shades of green and blue
Fingers, dipped, in apple red
Post protection, words said

Paper portrait with prisoned eyes
Trapped in time, but still alive
A look of terror, surrounded by paint
Wants free, but can't escape 

Whoever the...

In your vintage gold design

you lay in brilliant elegance-

a memory of our yesteryear

held in the highest esteem;

words flew through the air.

As I paint the picture of your bright revealing piece of art
i begin with the dark areas then make space for the
light
my poetry is a big love story that never ends in which 
has its negative & positives but when the time
becomes right
the brother that...
