aromatic beauty creates
dancing ethereal flowers
glowing high into jovial
kites lacquering moon
nature oasis polishes
quasars royal stars
tracing universal vortexes
xenoliths yearn zeal

Birds behind
A blue sky mirror,
Speak in metaphor;
The surfer riding waves
Feels liquid muscle.
You were a hologram maker,
Lacquering layers -
nature, humanity, God;
Composing a resonance
In other minds;
Thought cascades.

The wind rustles leaves against his dirty ankles.
His focus is three feet to the front at the ground.
Oversize clothes hang from his frame.
A patina of ground in dirt and grime covers a slouchy hat.
Trickles over his out thrusting grey hairs, lacquering his outer garments.
No one stops.
No one asks if he needs help.
Very few look his way.
Suddenly he stops and squats next to the road.
Drawing pictures only he can see.
Erasing the dust and drawing again.
No one notices as they pass by.

I STAND I STEPPED IN AN AQUATIC SPILLWAY OF A DREAM LAKE
Dream lake head waters
Thing of lacquer
Engaging lacquering
Full of shallows
Silent lac
I stand I stepped in an aquatic spillway of a dream lake
Out by the thought of lakes
Of my dreams, rivers streams
A body of waters
Cumulating waters gathering together,
All those rivers streams
I stand I stepped in an aquatic spillway of a dream lake
They which are perfumed from unseen scoter
In there within themselves lakeshores
Warming were those ground waters
Some sandy beaches pearl aqua clear blue
The soft shoreline shallowing
I stand I stepped in an aquatic spillway of a dream lake
Demersal, demersal ponding
In fact that it was swishing
A landlocked loch lacquering
So there I stand stepped in an aquatic spillway
Dream lake head waters
I stand I stepped in an aquatic spillway of a dream lake

"All art is erotic", quote from Gustav Klimt
The Kiss... Gustav Klimt
Son of a Bohemian gold engraver
Childhood marked by poverty
Influenced by Japanese art
Developed his talent early in life
Created his own style like no other
Took symbolism and eroticism to new heights
Glorifying the female body
Evocatively exotic and erotic
Lacquering it with gold leaf
Controversial during his lifetime
Now on display in Vienna
Those not destroyed during the war
Traveling in world exhibitions
Or sold for multi millions to art collectors
Unfinished paintings when he died
World-wide fame celebrated anniversary
One hundred and fifty years
Death and Life
A golden tribute to Klimt
