An impressionist called Vincent van Gogh
Developed a bit of a cough,
Whilst shaving one morning
He coughed without warning
And THAT'S how he cut his ear off!!...

Here lies a true genius Vincent Van Gogh
Severed his left ear why we'll never know
Sight of the swirl stars always drew him dream
Behind asylum bars view morning beam

(I hold these in high esteem)

For my part I know nothing of any certainty
but the sight of stars makes me dream.

VINCENT VAN GOGH COMES CALLING FOR CHRISTMAS

                    V.V.G. was broke again

from beyond his
vibrant palette
that bore all his 
lifelong scars

is what I see
beneath his sky
and myriad
of stars

a scene of shades
and silhouettes
formed by the
yellow light

that hints at
The Last Supper
at that café 
in the night?...

He remembers times with her.
Sharing moments alone in,
the cafe terrace at night.
Not too long ago.

I dreamed I was in Café Terrace with Toulouse-Lautrec.
We were downing glass after glass of orange triple sec.
And quite drunk, he muttered something that shocked me so ~
he intimated he'd eaten the ear of Vincent van Gogh!
And then I was startled awake ~ 
with my bloody sunflower bed sheet wrung around my neck.

Vincent Willem van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh—a genius artist par excellence  
As most famously he was known to all,
Whilst mired deep in shades of a frenzied, frantic confusion 
Slices off his left ear he does—faster than he could slice a pear!

When Vincent stumbled home that night through a drizzle of rain ~ 
what was going on inside that teeming, torturous brain?
Did he blaspheme heaven with every profanity and curse?
Or did he gaze in awe at the stars of his exploding universe,
and try to make of their blue and yellow light a poultice for his pain?...

Vincent van Gogh**
Sliced his left ear off
Only one painting did Van Gogh sell  -
maybe he didn’t hear the doorbell!


The only painting Van Gogh sold during his lifetime was Red Vineyard at Arles
**Based on the European pronunciation of the name which is Van Goff!

Her asylum at Saint-Remy, eighteen-ninety where 
Vincent van Gogh with palette as paintbrushes 
Cast a vision thus timeless this beauty....
Outside divinities window upon her ledge
In captured their moment yet, no one knew 
His love so true ? Henceforth was sought a way
These heart's what light should stay and back..
Unto the future red, ruby shoes; there, which want not wait....

Autumn

I looked up to see
the day receding from me
and it’s falling leaves.
            ***
