The glass of a brown
house portrays the apricot 
clouds from which peek a chilled blue,

and the docks the tints
of trampled sand- mocha hues-
as a new oil painting....

He sits rounded, like a stone
colours dripping with the rain
fading like an oil painting

His grimy hand outstretched
holding out a white cup
his very own white flag

My expensive leather shoes
thump the ground in time
trembling, eyes cast down

I scurry by...

Last night,
a spirit moved along the ceiling...
I followed it 
through cat eyes.
   It moved slowly
like a winter spider 
or sower in an oil painting.
  Was it a surveyor from heaven,
a hell sent scout
or just a mousy dream 
shuffling
beyond a shadow of doubt....

(OIL PAINTING 1)

Brothers on the beach,
Seaside in reach,
The two amigos,
Blood brother bros,
Fraternals and kin,
Pals and companions,
Sidekicks and playmates,
Coastline siblings,
Buddies in the shingles,
A forever brother band, 
Golden memories of the strand....

Forty years had passed 
Quietly, he stood transfixed
An old man trapped 
In that oil painting 
But the opportunity arrived
To escape the canvas
Smell the cherry blossoms
And exhale sublime liberation 
Never had one gasp
Felt so very good

Fuseli forenamed Johan. Heinrich
was a bit of a art maverick
He had an obssession with women's hair
painted with abandon&sans a care*

sky tattooed
all over with autumn’s scent,
tokens of numbness
spread along my heartbeats,
ashes growing wild
around what used to be my soul,
crows waiting for my dreams
to become their holy communion,
and beyond all this, me,
heading towards a one hundred years sleep,
after pricking my fingers in your thorny self…...

SUN

Sunset

At days end


Once enjoyed by us

Over our middle years

Time gains momentum on us


"The sun still sets each day, let's enjoy once again."     


Based on oil painting, The Sweetness Of The Sun"
Painted by: Leonid Afremov
Poetry form used: Clarifying Pyramid

Forever trapped, can't break free, I need out, let me be

Drops of falling fear, bursting into puddles of courage
Rivers run with oil, painting earth's mighty image

The sun finally warming me with memories of old friends
I'll follow them anywhere if my heart intends

Rise above the clouds, chasing the not-so-silly dreams
No way to tell real from fake, reality is ripping at the seems...

Said She: 
I shine happy
   with all   You have given me
   in this life...

what has been shown me, 
   in the eyes   of my beloveds,
   in the pawprints   of the racoon,
the pink sunset dust
powdered lightly   on the white cover
   of bibulous clouds,
the oil painting beauty   of a rose.

I prop open my door
   to these sights
   with my clay foot,
my face   flushed with awe....

He's a champ

Forget about the tiny size
of his body - you wonder how
he'll hold a ball flashing
like a comet.

He's a champ

Forget about the empty benches
that are blankly staring back at him.

He's a champ

Forget about the absent
parents who are not with him,
to see his tiny steps to Hall of Fame.

He's a champ,
and will always be a champ.

Here–Gone-Fresh

Here
Are but 
Children as
They meet the beach
Forewarned of rip tides
Suction at the
Shore eating
Their feet
Gone

Fresh
Salt air
Filling up 
The boys’ young lungs
Crabs scuttle sideways
Seagulls fly free
Dive for fish
Tides coming
Fresh

The lake is surrounded by burnt orange grass that bends.The sparse light rain drops
make perfect circles on the glassy dark water 

that widen until they sleekly disappear. 
The lake mirrors the late Fall afternoon: 
dried-apricot clouds from which peek 

a chilled though soft blue. 
A worn trodden campsite 
is next to a shiny varnished house 

with windows that portray 
the wet sand colors of the docks, 
and the sun-light shifting the sky, 

as an oil painting of an aging day....

she runs on the sand
      to the far, intense ocean
          ribboned hat is left

         running towards sea
      she cannot wait to begin
         pink ribbons vibrate

           she is running still
  the sand runs between her toes
         hat waits for the tide
