Rubbed with oils then with sand…
Tables made by hand...

from where terrified
splintered light

with oils his particular bent
Portraits of the 'nouveaux riche'
he created a successful niche...

Once was part of mother's toil,
Giving kids cod liver oil,
Yuck, was the taste, we'd say,
But obedience was our way!...

bird bath near blossoms
wrens fussy in my dirt bath
pigeons wait their turn
parasites and oils dust off
just leave a dirt bath for birds...

On what do we run in this silly rat race?
Oils we suck and pills for our face.

Fossils for fumes and poisons for potions,
We brew for our brains, which we spill in the oceans....

What would a hunter ever do with empty canvas, oils and brush?

   Maybe with ease he might entrap the finest hues of poetry:

 Catching moments in time and then painting them for eternity....

The Evening Primrose flower
         Is a yellow color
         This flower is healing
         The seeds and oils
          Are both used
          For medicinal use
          A very useful plant...

What are we doing to our planet? 
Processing oils, 
pumping air with oxides;
be them sulphur, 
or nitrogen gas.
Burning coals,
manufacturing chemicals.
Making acid rain -
burning our -
dumb ass!...

~Based loosely on The Boyfriend by C. D. Wright~

sun setting on the city
and stars start to rise

a tired yawn escapes
but insomnia creeps in

essential oils fill the air
her lover snores softly...

Amidst silken sheets 
She naked to bare 
Her thighs I stride
My hands in slide
Jasmine oils grace

Amidst silky sheets
He naked to bare
His thighs I ride
My hands like tides
Jasmine oils glide

smoothness
imbued with character
his essence
imbedded deeply
in every crevice
sweet oils
of everyday labor
lubricating
its monotony
burnishing
the hard patina
of life

Soft
songs in
tunes
know of
Christ child's love
in praise
that
pure dear
notes were sung,
as Kings bend low
with gifts of
gold and
oils
to bless
God's sweet son.
Christmas,
we
share His
love.

Nature does a landscape well,
And in vivid hues, the sea—
Capturing each wave and swell,
Or as perfectly, a tree!

Even as she smiling toils,
Till her artistry prevails—
Then tucks away her brush and oils,
And her Masterpiece, unveils!...

Soothing music playing
Essential oils
Gently applied to my skin
So relaxing
Total escape from reality

Mother goose silks her feathers,
Oils her charms through crystalline water.
The time of male bird enhances her looks
Heavens found not a perfect match.
Ending mating season, she plucks herself to a nest
Resting her warm eggs until they hatch....

The flow of the brush
slobbering colored pigment
upon the gesso...

Emerging from the
hogs hair brush tip a minute
color avenue.

Feasting on burgers, chips,
French fries, pizza, ice cream
Fettuccine and pies
Fills our bodies with fat.
Fish, right oils and nuts are
Fabulous for us, so
Feed your face with good fats!

        On the canvas
   laid out flat her length

         she did twist
               coil
          and  spiral

         Yes she did 
           meander
          uncovered

         On the wet

            chosen
