This mosaic of me lies in the lap of Whistler’s mother content Some say in certain light there are resemblances of Venus on the half shell with a Madonna smile in asexual warmth without lipstick Small bits of recluse lie about here and there like some origami Picasso looking out of only one eye My thinking disguise Slivers of Degas riddle in smooth deliberate hues of gray scale barrier that only a dancer could enhance Some foreign notion brushing through my veins My ears are plaster and frescoed to ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in acoustic rapture of both worlds doubly parallel Music and art Heaven and earth In the sombre edges I float at times pale and pristine in chain linked thought as Ophelia whose malaise was Millais I picture not the few I’ve had nor the few that had me The chill just comes as bumps remembering texture The center of me soft as wafting lilies perfectly Monet in fresh essence of practically blind but determined to show as much beauty as I possibly can and in small shapes of time and placement there are vibrant reds where I bleed forth to a Waterhouse sea and let go of reality While a larger part of me is becoming Before a mirror in Browning fashion as age makes me more comfortable with who I am I don’t find myself as a single work of art or anything original I am completely unfinished I am simply small dots up close Perhaps a big picture far away |

and in small shapes of time and placement there are vibrant reds where I bleed forth to a Waterhouse sea and let go of reality While a larger part of me is becoming Before a mirror in Browning fashion as age makes me more comfortable with who I am you never fail to amaze me... never |

I don’t find myself as a single work of art or anything original I am completely unfinished I am simply small dots up close Perhaps a big picture far away Well at least from Phoenix I see a great perspective of you with many thanks to the words you give. I like what I see no matter the dots per inch.  |

The center of me soft as wafting lilies perfectly Monet in fresh essence of practically blind but determined to show as much beauty as I possibly can and in small shapes of time and placement there are vibrant reds where I bleed forth to a Waterhouse sea and let go of reality =============================== you are so cool!! I do so enjoy the way your poetic mind works. I passed on your message, he said you are most welcome  thanks for all you shared. take care poetess R. Of all the things in me I could never be, |

I would like to think this all started in a candlelit bubblebath Regina , for this is absolutely the best poem I think I have ever been totally absorbed into! There is nothing in the world I love more than art and standing back in an art gallery looking at a piece and wondering how the dots did connect to become a masterpiece. Well...you truly created your own masterpiece in this one, for it was simply an exquisite piece of poetry, (my favorite of yours now), and this one made it to the special section in the book I keep of poetry from the poets at Passions (JM's to De Vante is in there twice LOL, in case I loose it!) I should have emailed all this, but too late now and I wanted you to know that the thought, effort, and outcome of this piece went straight "into" me! Good grief girl this was fabulous to say the very least. psst...I would say you are about as finished as one can get, and you have it all, frame included! You are such a super sweetie, kind and handy too even - how's the reno going? How's about an update Boy, I sure wished you could have come to Nan's - your darn boss anyway  [This message has been edited by Mysteria (03-22-2002 12:17 AM).] |

I especially liked how you ended this. Such a pretty picture you painted. I wonder if anyone is ever truly finished or connects the last dot. A frame is just a frame, it is more about the artistic touch and true colors she works with. Just Beautiful~ |

Finally! I finally get back to this... "and in small shapes of time and placement there are vibrant reds where I bleed forth to a Waterhouse sea and let go of reality While a larger part of me is becoming Before a mirror in Browning fashion as age makes me more comfortable with who I am I don’t find myself as a single work of art or anything original I am completely unfinished I am simply small dots up close Perhaps a big picture far away" perhaps...just perhaps this is one of the best poems I have seen from you, ever....it is a Classic, and it is a Keeper! |
