I can paint a picture using words. to be seen, felt, and heard. forgivingly enmeshed within the viewer who reads and sobs with regretful viewing... reliving missed moments, old plans lain waste. revisit a dead spouse who still breathes somewhere, sometimes- in the depths of your soul- shaking it- squeezing it encompassing it with a furious love stronger than death; for the missing. Else tha canvass need be flowery and reek of pleasantries- a memory's smile surfing the breeze on a warm spring day... ...smelling the wonder of life. a cacophony of feeling letting the viewer feel re-birth and allowing herself the slightest bit of selfish happiness because the further creation of feeling begat by my painting is from herself. for whatever purposes. my hand sweats from the possibilities. machiner |

I wrote this short collection of words in 1994 to thank the muse that is life for allowing me to recognise its being. Hopefully I have pointed out that I am lost without the reader...stupid from ineptitude without the honest love and pain that you and I as poets can sniff in the air. There was a man that traded socks with me lo these many years ago when I was down on my luck in Santa Rosa, CA... Without him, and those like him, I would be dead. Numb to what occurs about me, and stoney in my soul. Thank you, sir. And thank you all for sharing those things that you notice and feel with the rest of us. Brian |

machiner...I feel much the same way, about life, and writing it. Thanks for sharing here about yourself. |
