Of blood and terror
caught upon the minds canvas
This work is my self
---
who be i tonight
friend or foe
i so easily interchange
---
I leave this record
for posteriority
the assholes to come
---
for left i look down,
for right lifts me once again;
yay, consternation.
---
Two faces in one
Human discord on display
Who are you today?
---
one great artist said
"Light is a great temptation."
I cover white light.
---
last chance for a verse?
creativity revolts
one more basket case
---
In the masculine realm of the outer
I move in strides of determination
Wide eyed, alert and lacking fear
I am indeed master of my destiny
Moving in strides of determination
I don’t see the trees weep
Wide eyed, alert and fearless
Of all but the space within
My persona carefully maintained
Which with brush captures the luminous light
Yet avoids this vast emptiness within
As if to be this space would equal sin
Oh this huge space which spins within
That provides the impulse to capture unfolding scenes
Wide eyed, alert and lacking fear
Except to confront the inner body's tears
The vastness of the divine within
Which biblically has been taught as sin
Prevents me from seeing the trees weep
And leads me to another sip of gin.
