Thought

Thought.

The center of my soul 
Is the universe
As I know it 
Life didn´t exist before me
And it will not
Exist after me 
Eternity is
An abstraction.

Paris Good Soul

Paris is not an abstraction
Paris is more than my tea
Paris is now one theory
where I hold back my cry
because its heaven is not me
just a self-control
good soul

Premium Member Rachael Mercer

British painter Rachel Mercer -
for a contemplative approach, Gwen John was her precursor.
She captures real scenes with a bit of abstraction;
using loose brushstrokes she indicates live action.

to leave: this being's flux

Premium Member Verse Freed In Coloured Abstraction

Pastel
Burnt sienna
Tinged the golden flame-
Reflecting raw umbery on the
Red earth

Unseen
A bluish buff
Grizzled a silver grain
Into lavender scented
Shadows

Premium Member God Is Not

God is 
No impersonal abstraction,
but a living being.
Not harsh or remote
but fair,just and all-seeing.
Not impatient with a closed mind,
but long suffering,loving-kind.
Not unknowable or unknown,
ever-ready to be shown.

Splatters of paint on a canvas and a cosmic; portrait comes to life. Dancing clouds disperse light creates abstraction, it’s universal art. Gallery worthy pixilation dancing at universal ball.

Ensnared

If something isn’t true,
is it necessarily false

By the polarized abstraction,
are we blinded to recourse

In the either or equation
and the depths of zero sum

Is all meaning trapped forever
—inside this web we’ve spun

Muddy Water number 1

Smith & Wesson were very, very creative serial killers but (of course) that pair were no match for the absolute master … *God.




*God - When I say god, I mean an abstraction invented to quench a thirst, relieve an empty stomach, and kill your neighbours for one or both.

Run

Run
Just gonna run
run run run without looking back
Just wanna be far
far from fractions and abstraction
Just wanna breath in a way that only yes only a bit of it make a hurricane 
Just wanna feel the joy in the strength of standing up once again
Just wanna come back to my own world

Breaking From Vernacular

On the outside the world is spectacular
Taking a break from the vernacular
Speaking out of sophistication
With no effort or dedication
Taking the time to abscond 
Wondering of the things that lye beyond
Alone in the night left with abstraction
Left alone with my ego
My fatal attraction

Premium Member A Man Who Talks of Abstraction

colour 
    enlivened concepts 

an inner necessity 
 of      geometrics
 minimalised 
      paraphrased

 visualisations 
 to captivate  
in
sparse curves
              &circles  
of
 emancipated
      abstractions

idyllised

   simplicity  
 
 in sparse
     wonderlands

ABSTRACTION

The black stripe
With crossing red slashes
Is not a chocolate cookie

These are paint strokes
Put on paper
Representational things – perhaps

But are they words?
Given aura
This could make them so

A thousand word poem
These strokes
But no chocolate cookie
