"unimportant" ~ a title that occupies such space, especially when it’s breathed in, embedded into the lungs. muse turned subject turned...

Premium Member Portrait of a Young Princess
Weeping for no one, the great near-sister sobs, "Go, Queen, and find all the pink jewels." Soon they are found, examined and named: Little Pink Fish, Aurora of Evening and Forest Fire Sky. They are gathered and brought to the princess. Her beauty is her face; she is only five. She often goes from great to ungrateful. Then, being sorry,...

Unfinished portrait
I walked the winding way down your memories. We live in the age of perpetual documentation - a blessing for the socially inept. Every abstract gives insight, but I crave the full portrait, you in your every shade and hue. I wish to know you better than breathing, but I fail even to take notice of where the edges of my...

Self Portrait
Unpredictable and volatile-- morose and quiet one moment, he is laughing heartily just after a while at whatever excited his mirth, his high thin loud laugh strange from a person with a grave mien. He would often be in deep thought, as if engaged in contemplation of a philosophical question. You’d think he is not given to humor, but know him well and...

Happiness just knocked on the door I didn't ask, but the gentle lips And heart were aching for a while The lamp in the empty room Gradually lost its coldness Leaving a beam of light For memories of us Holding each other tightly In the canvass of love picture....

Premium Member Fleurs ou Fleurs devant un portrait - Matisse
Who would ignore a giraffe? Place it off-centre and perhaps I would, on a particularly grey day where I was all but disappearing myself "Please point it out to me," I might say, all the colour returning to my face, joie de vivre leaping into the essence of me as you and I see what we want to see It's so easy...

The Woman in the Portrait
A woman hangs on my parlor wall Perched Precariously in her picture frame, A garish feather placed upon the hat upon her head Her dress, a ruby red, ruby red. Cobwebs kiss her ivory face- Spiderweb cracks trace her glass eyes and porcelain nose. A mouse or a moth chewed a hole in her side Anachronistic blue tape hides the embarrassing blemish...
