seem to have understood

but liars can figure

Silence towards the end,
Fleeting figures,
Whisper,
From,
Beyond.

with sorrow's stain endows
haunted funereal shrouds
figures swinging from tree boughs

In a cave
She sits
Carbon stained fingers

in front of a decayed installment
there were two figures
one observer
posing in front of the installment
they were semi-naked
Many of them are
rather shallow and almost silly,
and also extremely
poisonous like many species of lily
(at least those in my beloved country)
Andrea of Florence took his patron'name
as Verrocchio he later found fame
He loved fabrics & things in gold
his figures seem modelled& rather bold
dark clouds part
to let streams of light through
consuming angry figures
tears in fearless eyes

seven eyed monsters
we are riding high
blue blinking lights
from the turquoise trees
shaking figures of rotten flesh
we are gambling with life
Form:
Eyes of sorrow
Bleed new pain
Twisting Vision
In the rain
Hidden lifeless figures faint
New found fury feeds the beast
As curious train tracks lead me
East.

blazing hues like moon's textures

Human perception is self-limiting - like radars, we scan for targets - not diffuse area.

Gestalt psychology knows how humans focus on figures, not background canvas.
Life:
a strange trip
undertaken alone,
by ghostly bodies,
encountering a variety of faces
atop the figures
of other solitary travelers,
searching
for someone
to touch.
tapers
glowing shimmer
making thin light intimate
dim silhouetted figures merge
love's flame consummated

stretch artist, A. Modigliani amplifies
sketching curvilinear bodies, weak eyes
his far-fetching figures still mystify us
despite his premature death to meningitis.

long rolls
of feverish faces
watery flames
of fire
of fiery fire
the broken
hearts
the mangled
figures
those are new casualties
but
not the only casualties
in old towns
of modern villages
