A painting

A painting

A Poem by Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere
"

Good painting is like good cooking; it can be tasted, but not explained. Maurice de Vlaminck

"




















Illuminated in the shadows a painting

looks into my deepest wandering thoughts

it tastes my senses, connecting the dots

into a colour, a form in my head is growing

 

with shades full of astonishing wonderment

on my lips open a bit or a finger upon

it reads out of the panel, acknowledgment

in the glance upon my face is drawn

 

to belong, to have and to possess

lined with a canvas, bordered in oak

it never looks down giving it’s bless

 

and when from my exalting state I stoke

the fire in my heart and in my head no less

I’ll be warm and happy with each pencil stroke.

I wish I had the ability for art. Artwork tell complete story with a glance. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

A moment in time, captured in wonderful colours - a glimpse into the mind of the artist. This, the picture you paint with your words, Rudi! A nice painting to accompany such words.

As a painter, I am "sitting in the shadows" of your "deepest, wandering thoughts", a picture worth a thousand words, a color with a thousand shades, a thousand tints, transparent or opaque, a thousand vibrant emotions pouring out the perfume of a painting, of turpentine, of linseed oil, a wild pine forest in the wind, a woodpecker flash, the silent song of a soul, to "light the fire in my heart", and, "in my head, no less", without a word, without the wind, without the bird, with nothing heard, a thousand times the pines, transparent or opaque, are nowhere near a poem, dear, that's like the one you're written here.
