Premium Member Ekphrasis on Cafe Terrace at Night - POTD
Stir my moonlight coffee with your freshly dipped brush in bright yellow ochre ~ I will not complain. Sprinkle pigments from from your pallets on my unflavoured coffee~ I will not complain. Even when your indigo eyes spill Prussian blue to veil my night sky~ I will not complain. Come sit with me share this coloured coffee on this café terrace where unfinished canvases lean on...

Premium Member Cafe Terrace at Night - Van Gogh
tonight I will not be absorbed by the blue/black I'm in the gaslight the hum of people, protecting me, unbeknownst to them as undercurrents don't grab, for now comfort exists in surface energy within circling echoes my heart is exploding too perfect, too neat - look beyond - but I won't, not tonight peacefully anchored in a moment I...

Premium Member the terrace
I fell asleep outside, on Lisa’s windy, 50th floor terrace. It was indulgent, sensual and lethargic - it crushed. I forgot the time. The sunset was intense, a violent shock of color, like an existential smack in the face. I felt a lot of joy. I’m feeling optimistic. We leave for New Haven tomorrow. I believe in the future. Leeza popped her head out of the glass...

Premium Member Terrace
One of soft summer evenings is fading and passers go by Cappuccino in hand and a cig, you relax in delight Sick and happy you sit, and it must be your favorite style Or at least that's the way I remember the terrace at night I'm a Don Quixote's sword, broken down to pieces in hopeless attack You're a daughter...

Premium Member A Terrace Full of Flowers For Our Anniversary
Oh! No. I won’t wait until you’re seriously terminally sick Or to expire in order to send you bouquets of ritzy flowers Today is indeed the time, the hour to stand above the big brick To show my love amidst the hubbub of seasoneless showers. You are profoundly loved, dear colorful and calm princess You are always on my mind,...

Premium Member July Terrace Garden
My tranquil oasis, terrace garden, by July- serene hues of green foliage, and sweet scents of rose drifting. A repose from the humid heat, and oppressive sun- where the murmurs of bird twitters bring a divine stillness....

Poverty
Poverty sneaks through her wet garment on the terrace she talks to herself cursing the day she was born and left to negotiate truths of gender, sex and adulthood in the middle class one-room apartment physical rigmarole buries sick delight hope of wellness fast and Sunday mass sink into dusk and darkness eats into her silence --R K Singh...

Premium Member Vincent Van Gogh: Cafe Terrace At Night
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?...

Premium Member Cafe Terrace 'Coffee House' In Arles, France
Café Terrace (Coffee House) In Arles, France Beneath stars of heavenly grandeur, In a café, romance prospects dwell brighter. Patrons entertaining escapades of camaraderie, Charismatically whisper away the evening. Visible under the illuminating gas lantern, Of sulphurous yellow revealing customers Who say, “S'il vous plaît” to the French waiter. As passersby stare at empty tables. At the street’s end is seen a church spiral...

That Girl On the Terrace
Every day she was abused at home, She was locked up; not allowed to roam. Her mother breathed for the last time when her father was charged with a crime. She was reared up by her cruel uncle, who never permitted her, to see the stars twinkle. Tears dried up; heart never failed to ache, Her days used to end with just...

Seen From the Terrace
Seen from the Terrace The misty weather over Cascais persists there is no wind and silky rain, falls. Three old freighters must be 34-40 years old, anchored in the smooth water in the bay. There is a third wave lurking in the streets we, the old sit indoors except when going to the bank to pay bills or to the grocery...
