I look at your work and see an array of strokes in-between The smiles and tears that piles Isolated brushes in small rooms
I peep on your life and portraits On the aisles of temptation and love The misery of the human formations Inside a three dimensional canvas
I think of you from symbolism realism On the island where nature was proud Landscapes of greenish violet spoke Soaked romantic tinges in spiky pokes
I see your blue lonely bubble episodes On the earth's doleful daunted pasture Culminates of gloom, isolation suicide Dark and blue composite of blindness
I love the painted roses of orange tosses On the eve where mistresses and lovers Speak accents of lust with naked bodies Paraded games of the heart captured on ice
I seek your open mind and astuteness On the soil of Africa celebrating souls Dancing at the rhythm of the drum beats Shaping,hunting,pacing, tracing, painting
I like the way you wandered and hoped On the excitement of something a new When cubism of browny monochrome Shaded neutrals in fragmented collages
I long to figure you out and your gems On that dynamic cased experimentation Crystal periods of pipes, guitars and glass The passion that brought you riches and fame
I love to romantasise you Pablo Picasso On my search you were a dreamer and a doer Falled and failed, waited and won it all From surrealism, abstraction to classical
