Dreams in Darkness Lay

Dreams in Darkness Lay

A Poem by An owl on the moon
"

All art requires courage ~ Anne Tucker

"



Dreams in darkness lay

in a watercolor tapestry

 

Dabbled words of sound,

drift dripping slowly down

 

Shades of what you do to me

on Dada landscapes of Ceylon tea

 

Gold leaf set in shelled smiles

abstract colors across the miles

 

Red sunrise cubist ribbon skies

in boundaries of soft abstract eyes

 

Revolutionary fires flow,

since caverns of dark Lascaux

 

Perceptions of canvass redirections

pigments in portrait blush deceptions

 

Still life brushed on impressionist fair

your roses painted red with care

 

Golden dreamish tones beget

the ever surrealist stroked sunset

 

I will ever always be

the faithful shadow in your sea .

The progression of the soul is our lesson daily...I believe we were put her to preform and perfect that ability in love, to cultivate that accurate measurement of forever. You have become a master...a teacher...a leader. your movement and flow both haunt and humble me,like few others. Your amazing! The world needs more shadows like you :)

This is a beautiful tapestry of flowing glowing artful sensations. Methinks one must be a painter of liquid paints in order to pen such an artful description of this life. I love your opening quote, so true, our writing becomes more compelling, the more courage we have to stand naked (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

So thankful to see you by again, dear Margie. May you find courage always rising within you. :)
The poem speaks to me of all the aspects of love, in all their splendor, crimson, red and gold. Even deception seems surreal at the hands of love. All that matters are the dreams and sighs. All that matters is to keep painting that canvas. Such breathtaking poetry Craig!
