light isn't born yet...
i'm only a wanderer
among dry unspoken words...

Head rearing,
Two windows peering,
Blue curtains closed, dreaming.
Ruby door seeking,
Pearly interior beaming,
From it, poetry teeming.

yet did his self-portrait from the rear

He is wizened, shackled to the horde,
Trifle deaf, he would loiter use mordacious words,
Owned cartridge of film that would elicit laughter.

A paper lantern of a girl;
Dim halo hazy, stitched thin by needlework.
A precision seamstress of darker dreams--
Freedom is a luxury, not
A privilege.

I present to you my self portrait painted in poetry
The lines of my soul decorated in ink
The haunted melody of my heart dancing throughout these words on scattered pages
Please see me for who I am

not
a reflection
or
a picture of perfection
So,what is my goal?
merely a sur-real
glance
into the looking-glass
of
my soul
with id & ego
on show

Behold, in life’s self-portrait I daresay
how youth and beauty alas fade away.
But as my time so increase
I will paint my masterpiece
and not a picture of Dorian Gray!

Limerick
Van Eyck with forename Jan
was a portrait painting man
He was also artist cum diplomat
famed for 'man in a red turbanned hat'*

A stone; a grey stone,
Cut roughly square
Neither rough nor smooth
Chunky but nothing sharp
Damp
Cold
Covered in a thin film of chalky brown clay
Turning
Floating
Alone in a dark space.

Blank verse
My hair is as the chestnut,
My eyes are china blue.
To a radish I am ancient;
To a tree I'm scarcely new.
I am tall and I am slender,
Both intelligent and nice--
Till I affix a picture fair,
May this portrait well suffice.

Nuremburg 's Albrecht Durer was ever in debt
&over his appearance often did fret
His long locks were the apex of taste
so a 'selfie' * an opportunity notl to waste

DYING PROPHET
I am writing the poem of dying prophet
Painting the self-portrait of a man without pocket
Singing the songs of singer dreaming about profit
Don't you see the fallen stars from the sky of rocket

...a self-portrait
I made thirteen but then I froze
and now I'm fifty-five,
my inner child is still right here
it's stuck inside alive,
surviving, there may still be time
to cultivate the brat,
to show him just the hell who's boss
and pin him to the mat!
