captured on a breeze

sunset sails on palettes of tangerine
I close my eyes to fondle this spectacle
in few nicks of brushstrokes; its glory done
my tears stumble , free falling...
asking for whys of its hues vanishing

sun, your brushstrokes
in golden honey cloak;
pencil, brush, chalk,
or charcoal all faux
cannot capture your talent.
colour, shadow, or life fluent
taken seriously,
stuck in still-life beauty,
but the present, sunny.

Brushstrokes.
.
Bright colored brushstrokes
Among fluffy white clouds
Hanging in a vibrant blue sky
Make one's heart smile
And satisfy ones adoring eye
Sublime beauty
Worthy of praise.

I painted my dreams
on the cloud covered heavens
Poetic brushstrokes
I hope to come true
In soft watercolors
the shade of forever
Then signed them with love
and sent them to you
In hopes you would find
along the horizon
These November wishes
as night comes to be
And know in your heart
the artistic meaning
My every dream
is you here with me

The strokes of angry waves painted,
Beneath a sky of charcoal gray.
Did you feel it even then,
The water's rise above your head?
Bobbing up and down,
Slowly losing ground,
As they tried to hold on
To the clothes which become
Your coffin.
Knowing this you went anyway,
To try and save
Someone you never knew.
It's hard to believe,
But where you weren't before,
I now see
In your painting
You
Drowning.

BRUSHSTROKES OF BELLA
deep cobalt dining,
alfresco & breezy.
lantern swings in wind.
lush landscape view.
blue and white curtains
billow beside huge windows,
as Bella, in a quiet spot, rocks.
Marc strolls past window, painting
a scene, that captures his adoration.
eyes see Bella in corner with shawl.

Shades of sunsets in stormy
skies,
Starlit promises in hazel eyes.
Pastel dreams in a neon
embrace,
Passionate whispers of silence.
Hazy moonbeams in a sea of
gold,
a kiss so familiar, a touch so
old.
Dancing on waves of blushing
clouds,
laughter in lavender cream.
Diamond in a pitch black sky,
forever in a breathless sigh,
fire in muted shades of grey,
brushstrokes of sin and song.
Damned by the air we have to
breathe,
blessed by the pain we're
forced to believe,
a painting, a portrait of all
which could be,
artistry of a lover's lust.

An artist would find hard to draw
The shape of mountain without flaw
As brushstrokes freeze in nature’s awe

He pulls himself to the frame,
And lets his instincts take control.
He then takes a few steps back,
And attacks the canvas from his soul.
He blends the colors smoothly,
With his fingers and the brush.
He’s unhurried as he paints;
He never gets in a rush.
He adjusts the frame gently,
And from his heart, he gropes.
He lets his genius take over with,
A collaboration of brushstrokes.
