Premium Member Rest - Marc Chagall
Ever sunk so low that mellow hits Your dreams cascade directly from the sky Cavities of the underground cushion The world splits into primary colours Stretching of limbs a forever of blissful Everything arches Towns slink away to rest untroublingly elsewhere The here and now evaporates Becomes the inhalation You breathe it in, dutifully Reach euphoria Fly away with that one bird Be the product...

Premium Member The Moon is Full and I Have Chagall Fever
The crescent moon and sunlight consumed by the moon’s fullness. The violin violates the quiet and quaint acquaintance of an eyeful. The cow, with its rudimentary cuds, could only curse the night. The bull will not croon its lullaby; he & his Bessy will not take flight. It’s a circus, peculiar, not meant for sleeping babes in arms. Infants blink...

Premium Member Over the Town by Marc Chagall
Peril looms yet the artist shows a relaxed state over the city. Looked back from whence they came, escaping, unfollowed, over the city. Solitude no more, she’s his prize to carry off over the city. ...

Premium Member Le Cirque Bleu by Marc Chagall

Premium Member Reminiscence Marc Chagall
I'm beside myself In a haze that some call 'rose tinted' In a phase that others call 'seeing red' In the photographers dark room, just looking over everything, nothing yet developed fully Too much is spoiling as light floods in I wanted to have it all figured out I wanted to have given it all time Of course we're smiling and...

Premium Member Still Life by Marc Chagall
White is placed last, just as dark is first It's vision through glass it is not a curse Is there value in stillness? I'm glad you asked Just as dark is first, white is placed last Are the order of things both real and dreams? The absolute rule is all is not as it seems Clarity is what a pause...
