And when you paint me do not ever treat me as Picasso did for I will never be a straight line intersecting with lines and, no, never will I be a line for life-long misery should I apologize for a true artists' art…. no but I would have not imparted once! a "thank you, that's fine" to such an unruly line of distortion when distortion of grief is enough to render a wretched cry with no ever need to ask "why?" God, I do not think for once or ever more that is how I would leave a door unspoken but if you were to paint me please be kind and paint my mind one that never heeds me because from you who saw the light in me ******** right now, I wish you were there… I have seen marvelous sights winsome balloons gone on to heights a child come into my care I've gone beyond where you've not dared I have seen some marvelous thrills and have planted some wondrous hills I have seen a rainbow's flight and I have gone into the night you would not be proud of me for I have not become history but what I will do for you and me has become a bit of memory…. but only in your soul, you see…… Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Karilea--I can't begin to say properly how much this poem moved me...I can only say, to tears. |

Just as exquisite as the first one...you have such a beautiful gift to weave your thoughts~ You cannot dance in the sun until you have cried in the rain~ |

you haven't become history?? Don't be so sure, sunshine..writers are immortal and will live as long as their poetry exists. As far as painting you....only upon Rembrandt's resurrection |

Questions And Answers Known You present many paths of insight into self and as corrollary All. In my newness Hence Ignorance This one of the most impressive pieces I have encountered thus far. My compliments. on a very compelling piece. (Yes I can speak in prose: but what challenge therein lies?) The Song That Is Soul It Reaches Defiant Giving It In And Given Calling All Souls Rise |

you will be painted - poster colors that wash off but not before the paints have left their mark - on a broad canvas rivaling the Titians and Rembrants - no one-eyed Picassos for you. You are so good - each work of yours impresses me more than the last |

Mr. Yeats...never cared for the one-eyed Picassos...but there was a lot of his other stuff that impressed me...but I do have to admit, I like the stories behind the art...funny that poets tell the story up front, and let the art come within the mind... Aimster, little one...never have one favorite...it stales much too fast...pick lots and lots from scores and scores of poets...and you will then SING....hugs...

I almost missed this. Never Picasso ... Rembrandt maybe? Live for love. Without love, you don't live. |
