            Condensed

Paintings of singular call.
Harangue, hang and brood my wall.
Points of paint induced to meld
Produced while my breath was held.

Brought to a myopic bed.
Mental gold turned pigment lead.
Colors brought to fires bright
Dimensions of hyper sight..

Imprisoned phantoms caught in draw.
Brushed and fixed in pigment store.
Caught and held in final goal
Gems implanted by my soul.

To me they are my total cry
Dramatic as a Van Gogh sky.
Reinforced in poets rhyme.
Memories of my loves and time.

Begging to tell, each soul of call
By ghosts that hang upon the wall.

Seymour....
           I enjoyed reading the whole piece,
  but it was the last line that I can't get
  out of my head.....

     "...ghosts that hang upon the wall...."

       What a picture you paint, and paint
                it beautifully.....


Love received is equal to love given!

Seymour~
Touched with artist's words ...
you bring the pictures to life.

Has to be a joy to see your art
spring to life ...
ghosts of the past ...
telling yesterday's stories.

Intriguing, my friend.

Mental gold turned pigment lead.

Your art says exactly how I feel sometimes about my poetry.

But then all of you raise me up on angels wings.

Have I told you yet today, how wonderfully you write?
