beautiful design...

my life sketched with words...

I quickly sketched the model
Holding a wine bottle

Canvas Stretched and primed
Relaxation fills my time
Sketched painted signed

I set my imagination free
And it came back to my little table
where the little hand sketched a portrait....

I'm sunbird of the sketched skyline, 
Soaring across soft sheaths 
Of ebony moonflowers, 
Inhaling gossamer death, tonight....

Denton's Harry Rutherford
sketched so never got bored
Star of BBC's Caberet cartoon spool
a master with Lowry in the Northern school...

Every moment that we have 
spent will be
Sketched into my heart
Embedded in my memory 
Painted in my pupil
Embedded in the scents of my 
nose...

The design sketched --
shards of words and phrases 
lie in their trays  
sorted by colour 
and shape
to be fashioned into a new poem --
to dazzle and illuminate....

Cloud formations etched
                      with crimson aglow vanquish
                        angst, magic is sketched

As the tides roll in off the sea
Erased are the days memories
In sand many poems were written
Epithets sketched in bare feet-
Reading the unwritten-
Under the shade of fading willow tree...

Paralyzed sunshine of the day, gray kissed skyscrapers in faint
Blurry dance stuck in the air as the dew pervades some occlusions
Day sketched gloom in beauty behind the droplets of breezy nimbus...

ebony chalk sketched her soft silhouette,
       old keepsakes reveal heartache-
                        a broken easel mourns...

So far away 
(from me now)
But near my heart

So long ago 
(almost seeming just) 
Sketched enrapt memories 

There by a young mans adventure
(memories distilled to affection)
Still there now an older mans dreams...

SCARS

Sketched upon the weary landscape
Scuff marks of the cross
Deep and wide

The impressions of a timely death
Tears that flowed from earthborn breast
Pressed upon our Edenic chest

ancient river cry
below the pencil sketched hills
where once  dreams consumed

for now, twilight dying fast
writing in tears   I lament...

Of sketched brushed brilliance
a pallet profound
of lingering
Geneus  
forge traced lines 
of weeping green shadows 
where steams leaning downward 
touch dew drops traipsing 
upon three lavender Tulips 
at daybreak

Once was an illustrator, sketched portraits of famous peeps
Mailed each 2 copies, one to sign and return, other to keep
Received over a thousand
Friends were totally astounded
John Wayne, Donald Trump(?) and John Glenn just 3 of heaps...

Onto the paper, leaks black unforgiving tears 
With every stroke of pain, something magical is displayed
Scars and scratches from an abusive defeat 
Cobbled thoughts sketched in the fibers 
Today, a horrible mess 
Tomorrow, the masterpiece you've been waiting for...

hampstead and the city 
 - as if sketched on
primed white canvas
appeared from on that bench 
divorced from time 
and standing still.

a london without colour 
 - ashen, silent, lying distant
seemed subdued beneath
the heat haze 
hanging down 
from primrose hill....

Held our Father's sophisticated art
I care
I AM there
Christ you are strong and Mighty
Lovely
Recovery
Discovery
Creations by the Divine
God knows the details of our lines
Who else would take their time
Making our unique design
God's heart we show
He sketched us you know...

Daybreak shifts its course
 To pass on stained  glass 
  Rousing  her arched frame —
                                                                
His fingers  capture
 Sketch of one blazed  time--
 Light weaving portrait.

I sketched 
You, with words
To calm 

A weary heart 
To sleep tight 
In slithering night, but 
Your whimsy craving 
Echoed, sweetly
	
The breath 
Of Northern stars
Fetching us

Gallons of 
Scented 
Rain
Like wine, brewed with 
Gleaming pieces 

Of you 
And me
‘Neath a silky sheet...
