SKIN

 

 

Skin comes in many colors

     Pale white, Olive gray, ivory yellow and Ebony black

Every color imaginable

     With a few not yet thought of

 

A color pallet best seen on the female form

     So many hues to capture the male agenda

Painted now a picture that rains before the eye

     A sweetness of dew and the mark of new

 

Yet in the work I find old patterns

     Of times gone by a story of clutter

Remakes of couples so many

    A babies smooth bottom a childhood so skinny

 

When in a life time looking

     A wonder of hindsight with things to shatter

A breath sucked in with thoughts for cause

    A finger to flesh … a touch that stills

 

 Within the painting the artist reveals

     The tone of skin both cold and warm

The Goose pimples of passions that fight to distill

     A heat so lustful for the joining of souls

 

Now the skin cools and the heat dies

     The passion turns to ownership

The two once one is separate again

      Skin ripples with sweat time now to regreat

perhaps they merge in a deeper relationship, or maybe i am a dreamer. still, i love the images and the stages you depict... very fine writing!
