              When I paint

My color drama wheels my bones,
By pressuring overtones that stun.
Slashing palette knife welding moans,
I madly grin at what I've done.

Sensuous blues, passionate reds,
Vivacious adulterate greens.
Gleans of black, apprehensions dread,
Welded browns that anchor the scenes.

Attacking canvas, raping prime,
Climaxing sate, of love and hate,
I've traumatized the now of time
With layer on layer of weight.

Painted my rage in tearing wear,
Producing borealis bright
The straining makes for tender fare
When they premiere my dreams at night.

This force of passion reigns my head.
And it will, until I am dead.

Seymour~
To have the talent of artistry on canvas -
combined with the artistry of phrases
so beautifully describing the arts ...

'Sensuous blues, passionate reds,
Vivacious adulterate greens.
Gleans of black, apprehensions dread,
Welded browns that anchor the scenes.'

... makes you a deeper shade of artist for sure !

Just YOU ... so vibrantly done !

The artist paints without a brush
But with the visions in his mind
And conjures up a canvas scene
With all the passion deep inside
The picture then produced in words
Is of a landscape of his being
And just as colorful a character
Is the picture we are seeing
Well written piece

Seymore...when you paint my dear (in your words) you open up a whole new world for your readers. Passion is definately not lost when you write and no book from Passions would ever be complete with out you
