~How shall I pen thee?

COLLABORATION ~ Frieda & Jack

How shall I pen thee, let me cipher the ways

pure bliss wafting on crystalline seascapes

ravishing the cerulean ripples of time's eye

deep and darkly ranges of mountainous clouds

devoured by eclipses of the moon's rage

 

lyrical verse of a rhythm’d release floating on

sweet chorded ventures in breath-taking time

sheet music love letters tossed to the deep

sandcastle dream waves now captured

in sunset wisdom, tangerine promises whispered

 

 Waltzing on thin ice whilst reaching the stars

dancing under sunbursts crushing burn

you surrendered your heart within my hands

stepping outside reality's gated bridges

i'm flying loftily high on your script'd tunes

 

melting, moon beam reflections in your eyes

pouring into me, slowly, sweetly as I blush

rose garden pastels on your lips…quivering

melodies of autumn leaf descent, lilting fantasies float,

resting within the crescendo of your love

[Tam Warink]

In every age there is a mechanic determinism that imposes itself upon the art and artist that abides in that sliver of time. It is as though lesser Vermeers have rallied in support of guilders and in so doing have provided bread to the sellers of minerals and oil - the ingredients that grind true art into a framed submission. Every painting has its flaws otherwise it would not be human. This is very human.
