Brush Stroke

Submitted by Buddha on Mon, 2016-01-18 23:20

A brush Stroke

applied to the canvas

blues, greens, aquamarines

the artist captures this moment

and the next. Past, present

the future.

The artist, in his mind

is a time traveler

from eye, to mind, to brush

to canvas.

The canvas reveals

what the soul conceals.

A short and sweet piece, though would have liked a self portrait to wet our appetites, though still neat.

Thank you Ian, I agree a self portrait would make an interesting poem, sort of Dorian Grayish.
Hey now, how about "The many shades of Dorian" ? I may see how far I can get with that.

all artists are lovers first...
they kiss ....
never miss

pierce
then tear the canvas
gals in tears

he fixes her soul
solely
on silk only
nothing to unveil all is shown
revealing the camouflaged
hole and sole
the whole
where he loved it most

then only will others peel
and
the love of the ardent artist feel
ask the gal of Titanic
how she felt it
once only!
ere the sinking of the ship
became an everlasting memory

so be it...
