I do not feel any artist can produce great art without putting great personality into it. It is always a piece of you that goes on the screen or the canvass.

The Fading Of The Day

God in his usual strokes
splashing the colors

from indigo to magenta
to light blue to saffron

paints another day in the
lifetime of

the black canvass of our lives.

But I think that's a particular kind of experience involving a certain immediacy between you and the canvass, you and the particular kind of experience of that particular moment.

His Drawing Of Her

with only
the pigments of red
and black made
available to
paint her
he sticks to the
rules

her body is
the white of the
canvass
her lips
red and the rest
shall be black

her heart too.

Butterfly Gone

Speak little
Take a pencil
Or a paintbrush
Emancipate the lust
In your left brain
In every bend of the strokes
In every blot of the paint
And outside the canvass
Find the lambaste
Of a butterfly gone

A Painting Of Pink Lips

pink lips
melting like
ice cream
from a
pastel brown
canvass

i feel desire
you feel
the toxicity of
dripping
the uselessness of
drifting
i feel the deep sense
of falling
into a dream
of drips of
sweet strawberry
flavored
ice cream

You Have The Soul Into Your Words

you may have the soul
into your words
you may have the oil
and the canvass and the
shapes and forms
to immortalize
what have you

something
for posterity for your immortality

but what use
is posterity
what use is this immortality?

The Canvass Of My Mind

I paint your picture
On the canvass of my mind
With the colors of imagination
But I can't find
A girl like you
In the real world

My eyes have become tired
Of looking for you
It seems you are a girl
Who wears veil
Please show me your face
If you are true

So Long Jackson

scattered words on a canvass
Dripping paint
a bit of myth
Chance
Color
Curled up on in your head
a fire without coals

The bottle just about empty
Dead painter
Steel car with blood
Alcoholism is a decadent religion
Fame an empty seat
Fall leaves without a plan
So long Jackson

Just A Short Poem After Admiring A Caricature

Alice B. has a suspicious eye
beneath her curly hair

her mouth is but a slit
keeping pain to herself

she has given up her
pair of eyebrows looking

sinister to the black and white
sketches of giant goldfishes

floating in the air
beside her

behind her is a light yellow
canvass
