Still Life

Sitting in a bowl of fruit
I hold a flower
Paint me with vivid colors
Make me look pretty
Or possibly as a reverent clown
With big floppy feet
In a contemporary return to classics
For the world to look and ask
"What did the artist mean with that banana, and why is that clown sitting on peaches holding a tulip?"

Just a play on the definition of still life and contemporary art.... More than what people paint us to be.

Everything is poetry

I am in LOVE
I am in YOUR LOVE

I do not mind
If YOU put me down

Throw me in the abyss
Into a bottomless pit
Push me low - if you dare
Burn me into ash
I will rise like a phoenix

I tell you
I will live and love
Keeping your glory alive

With LOVE
I make the lowest of low
The highest of high

You make one more LOW for me
I will make
one more HIGH for YOU

I will sit in lowest of life
And be the highest in LOVE

My BELOVEDz, My Nature
My LOVE

"Let our love be so..."
Beyond highs and lows...
