Short Pigment Poems

Bathed in pigment
Faux floral made immortal
One stroke at a time...

In early summer 
the garden is full of color, 
as eyes watch in awe....

Canvas caresses soft stroke of the brush;
Wet pigment manifests in,
The colors of my soul.

Delusional stars, 
constellations bend the light;  
Shards color the ground 
displaying blood on the dirt, 
dark shadows light the pigment....

Some have a pigment.
It is called chlorophyll.
We eat plants for meals.

Whither thou goest?
Thy wither showest.
Ruddy in pigment,
but a wee figment.
In bas relief,
exceedingly brief.

A windless rain,
Poring of green,
Effervescent kisses,
Pigment on the lips.

Concupiscence silence,
Every moment it whispers,
Voiceless vacuum,
Like the noise of silk clothing,
Or leaves blowing in the wind....

When eyeing the pigment of your fellow man's skin
  Professing 'color-blindness' rings as hollow as tin

Simply honor, rather -- and LOVE -- all colors under the sun
  Noah's 'rainbow message' for the ages ~ We are NOT all one!...

Twilight without absent of blackness and no light, does it make your night sunrise does it make it daylight absence, a pigment doesn't make it dark jaundice of light doesn't make it bright~

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

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

Green leaf 

Color of pigment ink of vense 
Cary the blood of my heart pump 
for the chest of my body 
Frie and heat of shooting clouds 
cry to fill the art in our green leaf 
which glow in tree of our life.......

I am a jailhouse artist,
I paint with whatever I got,
I have no brush or pigment,
That can help me out,
All I have is pen and paper,
And some thoughts to toss about,
I just do whatever I can do,
To share my creativity,
From my “artistic” soul for you....

Yes, indeed. Alright. I'm lily-white
    all 9+ feet of me, a tricolor sight

  But now I'm 'racist' and 'insensitive'
    because 'brown pigment I lack'
  
  A half-nelson applied to my aching 'red-neck'
    Cry 'UNCLE,' they scream, the political hacks...

To his psychiatrist a pig complained:
I’m struggling with a matter I need explained:
Why are our yearly losses
rarely by natural causes?

Nonsense, said the shrink,
give it some reconsideration. 
You’ll find, I think,
it’s just a pigment of your imagination....

The Good Lord Giveth,
And The Good Lord Taketh Away,
The sun is set on our times together and I hold no hope for a brighter day.

Everything seems to be of a darker pigment,
In fact a sadder hue,
For I used up all the stars in the night sky to wish for you— and me— and us— anew....

To his psychiatrist a pig complained:
I’m struggling with a matter I need explained:
Why are the yearly losses of pigs
rarely by natural causes? What gives?

Nonsense, said the shrink,
give it some reconsideration. 
You’ll find, I think,
it’s just a pigment of your imagination....

Dazzling carmine leaves
dance like fair Geisha on a
Japanese Maple.
Shapely arms, curving branches,
bend in cadence with the wind.



~~   July 1st, 2017   ~~

*Carmine is a pigment of a bright-red color, as is most often used by Geisha to color their lips....

Depravity’s eye
is looking back
its eyelid heavy
its pigment black

A twisted image
as yet profane
A sinner’s focus
of sharpened pain

Depravity’s eye
will never blink
With tears of sorrow
the devil’s ink

Forever watching
the future past
Its vision poisoned
—by judgment cast

 Just a splash of color
on a rotting stump;
golden waves of pigment
spread on a brown canvas.

Orange spatters intermingle
with yellow polka-dots
and the newborn smiles
highlighting the essence.

Happiness is a blossom
of pigments in nature;
a time-lapse painting,
lightening the heart.

R-ed color of the day 
A-ims to brighten the sky; 
M-ay fifth Friday morning, night shadow passes by. 

B-right hue of the dawn 
A-ims to light up your life; 
U-sing the warmth from above 
T-o make you safe from strife. 
I-n the tinge or tint, 
S-hade comes from the beacon; 
T-he pigment or dye can be 
A-s red as crimson....

RUTH
her husband,son of a lady of leisure
her lineage,a tribe fro Lot's incest
they us left,a priceless bequest
thru Obed,Jesse,David they were able
to give us a child in a stable

TAILPIECE
it is not our background
natural gifts or net worth
or even the pigment of our skin-
with a clean sheet,forgiven
by grace,a new life,now can begin...

A rolling stone gathers no moths
Is a lobster a crushed Asian
Are you all just a pigment of my imagination
This will be my last will and tentacle
Reed the words i rite
I am not your escape goat
I don't fell well
do you have the anecdote for that
Lets cell a bait
Shoot graffiti in the air
i sea ewe stair lick eye am knot their
oar did i go two fair...

Like all birthday clowns
they put on a wholesome show.
Tell us when to stop and where to go
then sneak away for a sip and smoke.

They come back to the party
red-eyed and wobbly.
Nobody notices or cares anymore.
Their painted masks have grown thick with our pain
After all that's what clowns are all about...
Putting smudges of pigment to rain clouds....
