Van Gogh wanted to mix a material rainbow of colors From primary red, yellow and blue in the sense of divine. In the Holy Light, the love time of the flower clock discolors. The empty glasses on the tables lack the Holy wine. The ideal round tables assume their infinite regress, While huddling down in a stupor the lonely men around. Their eyes do not see the sense of life and true noblesse. From a corner view, silent colors search for the sound. Tables for awakening, for life and for the fate's game. In life, a complete circled awareness needs time. In many forms, the epitome of tableness is the same. It keeps a purple silence for the painted mother of thyme. This irreconcilable demon -woman hung on the left wall Needs that freedom engraved on the emerald green door. The watch on her hand shows the time for a masked ball. Destined never to meet are the parallel lines on the floor. Love is for completing the time as pink is for the emerald green. In the mirror, this nuance of green reflects the sadness of life. Against the red, pink and white, in games, the cue tip can lean, Because all the main complementary colors are at strife. The white coat of the waiter is a symbol in the glow of the lamp. The perspective looks somewhat downward toward the floor. Extending to new dimensions, Eve sits or she just up to vamp. The flowers wither and the life disappears after an endless war.

Ekphrastic Poetry- Van Gogh -Night Cafe
Quelle passion, quelle tendresse! Un amour avec toute sa noblesse. Souffrance et un espoir si fou, Caresses d'un amour inattendu. Les jours passent, je suis toujours amoureux, La vie on la vit comme le veut. Un amour étranger, un amour partagé, Un amour d 'été... Les nuits sont l'abandon de mes jours, L'amour toujours fort sans blessure. Sentiment qu'on peut dértuire, Un amour qui me fait écrire. Le coucher de soleil me donne envie, L'amour pour un jour, pour la vie. Se coucher  dans un lit, Vivre l'amour jusqu'au paradis.. Victor Marques

Un amour
One day I fell Tears full of dread I was all alone In my white padded home There, I cried the days away You heard my darkened cries And you did something in turn You knocked and walked right in Straight through the dark Walked through shards Of broken glass Just to find the source Of this dark time You opened my door My back was turned to you You did not care You crept behind me Wrapped your wings Around my cold sides And told me to let it out You stroked my head And shattered the rusty chains You carried me outside Took me to your sunny home Where there my strength grew and grew 'Till I was shining too You planted a velvet kiss On  my rosy lips Gently grasped my hand We left to live We had a dream That did come true The bells to an fro Our smiles bright and loved By all who saw Me in a suit of grey Walking beside a girl Who wore a black dress And remained a noblesse Through the darkened days 'Till we grew old Then you fell In my arms I cried again You raised your soft hand Placed it on my cheek Wiped away my fears You whispered "Don't ever stop living For I shall be with you Always and forevermore" With her last breathe she passed away Buried in her black dress I love her to this day I won't fall again Because what I promised her I keep my tears Locked in my heart I remember her smile That beautiful crescent moon I know her hair Short and hazeled And I know her eyes The stars of the sky And I remember this 'Till I drift away But never fear 'Cuz I know this to be true She will locate me And I shall locate her And we shall live after death Bringing joys, not regrets 'Till the end of time

The intimations of our golden youth Are whispering the dreams of manhood- Subtle ways of ageless yearning Which in kind with ambient stars Quarterly describes, in subtle play The chiming of a universal soul Whose consort is a universal heart In man or woman, ever yielding scales From pole to pole, the hermeneutic art. Sweet songs of knowing, harmonies in time Resolved, upwelling, urging on the climb Of sacred being, born to unify… Conceived of ash, from ash to mount the skies On wings supernal, loft on fiery reins To ring the victors’ anthem and the aims Of truth and love for life’s enduring worth! O fair noblesse and sweet repose Of sacred care, always we hold you dear In trials of election and sojourning. Your constant grace, deep from within, unfolds To free the tortured thought and lonely fears Of desperate nights and homesick yearning. At last in you we find the kindliness Of heart, whose honored worth is bright as gold To phantom souls and this, too darkened, world. Your equipage and host of tenderness Wrought pure intent, more sure than has been told Of truth by men, the best of mind unfurled! Let none forget, in U we find our rest From whom we’re born, to whom we must return Our hope of innocence, in us the best Of love, whose lamp has ever inward burned. Mystery of love that sends In timeless whispers, on the mend Of heart and mind, eternal tides Of being; faith unto sacred faith Raising up the ancient gates Where mercy ever abides. Patiently, your mourning dove Has preened the pinions of our love Recouping every bit of life’s content. At last, what awful beauty drapes the sea And broods the dark on holy wings of peace A train of captives, born to pure intent! Still working yet upon the day Though battered in the idols’ fray To overcome the world and show forth The proven heart, all worthlessness disposed; Not trusting in those shadowy ways But piercing what, upon the naked eye Has taunted love, too dimly beheld. While alone the thought matured One social pact allied the tortured doubts And rose upon the gate Beautiful Acceptance and cooperation Our universal worth, more brightly lit!

the lion
Don't give your words to the blind deaf spirits. With eyes they simply don't use. They couldn't care for your naggy rantings. They ignore you; call you Katy Kaboom. Hardly worth the look, they are crust beneath trashcans. Walking off while you breathe. I find it hard to look at people, who refuse to listen to me. Don't treat it kind to by waved away, cast as the alien kind. Don't waste a spit on carcass ungraced with noblesse oblige of a man. 'Man-kind' should be a revelation, but dumb is the man with abused to his senses. Only fairy tales may glue dumb and kind as one. I've seen that only wise men may not be criticized. For only kind men, wise men, will treat a woman wise.

I saw... a huge, open space, arrayed with pink and yellow roses and zinnias...there were benches under trees that stretched towards a lagoon, for those gone weary, from their walks... I saw... a family...children were playing on the green, lush carpet grass, dressed in their bright-colored clothes of red and yellow, and blue jeans... confidently hopping, and tumbling wearing expensive rubber shoes...while having bites of sandwiches, and sips of juices... from a safe distance, seated on a bench, were the overseers...the parents...as two nannies kept close watch over the children....... I saw... a group of noisy children come in from the streets running barefooted, feeling the cool, moist grass... some refused to remove their rubber slippers, their clothes were old and tattered...too excited, they jumped.....lay on the grass without a care, they shrieked, as they climbed and fell from slides, obviously enjoying their visit....their shouts, their laughter seemed contagious, the well-endowed children, stopped their games and observed... I saw... how the parents summoned the nannies, they gathered the children, and all their stuff then marched towards a less peopled area, and there, they let their children play....while they sat on a nearby bench, pulled long sighs, one after the other...i wondered...were they exhausted? or, pricked by their conscience? were they sighs of relief.......because their children were now distanced......."safe," ......from the less fortunate ones? ::::::::: whatever happened to noblesse oblige? are these just two foreign words, with obsolete meanings? :::::::::::::: Sally Copyright March 9, 2017 Rosalia Rosario A.

Immaculate Dream
That gorgeous smile that glistens from her eyes Is ever glowing enchantment of Love’s mastery Exquisitely woven causing passion to comprise Grasping the essence of my being very tenderly With striking precision I am engulfed in her bliss Sent deliriously to bask in her tranquil noblesse A more heavenly place could never really exist Since Heaven itself lies in her spiritual fluoresce Romantically alluring is the smile that she bares Enveloping me in splashing tides of her essence The instant I met her God answered my prayers Leaving me then to sail within her luminescence Spinning through spirals of her flourishing grace Leaves me fervently thinking of her idyllic heart The rapture she produces one could never replace For it is so incredibly pure from you it won’t part Gazing within blares a deep spectrum of rapture Of the true Love that resides right inside her soul That delight she brings if you do in fact capture Will complete your being by making you whole

In the valley of no ambition to possess, Gather a conference of noblesse. Couples there to embrace their once in a life permanence, Atop the reflective mirror, Thousands of creatures, jealous, are deprived the chance, In this waterless land hides Venus’s lake. On one leg and bended neck eminence, Flamingo courtship:an elegant finesse. Ballerinas dancing coupled pirouettes, Partnered together beyond death, Angels clad in mango pinkness, the epitome of grace. PFL

A child this day was born in Britain but no camera men record this birth. He's not the child of Kate and William. He's common clay of humble earth. He'll soldier on four score and seven He'll fight and win your senseless war. He'll never claim noblesse oblige as he shoulders debt from those before. One is born Royal, the other common. One wears Purple, the other, dust. One shall be the king of England. One's blood is blue, the other, rust. One shall head the church of England The other lad will own a pub. Which one in time will prove right noble? to quote the bard "Aye, there's the rub."

The Pauper and the Prince
i do struggle to not make your tongue sour with this periodic harassment & dissonant conceit but i am compelled at last by the scarcity of savages who can see me in this desert. less feral & more clergy, the fabled selves of the world would be sanctuaried from my psychiatric violence. well attired passions always smell of fear & derision, further, & no less vile, arrogance & stupidity are known to capacitate spasmodic unceremonious coquetry. yes my mouth is a scavenger’s, but privation & dissatisfaction by design turn coat on the very messianic puppetry which their compulsory public refusal had initially engendered. welcoming calamity i prey & arrow from afar & go on proving my self wrong in one last alexandrian charge to certify my renowned demise. no tricks or perversions barring what’s customary amongst outlaw noblesse. oh & do regard this new color on my face, & if you would, please, stop turning yours away from mine.

(inspired by ‘Dusty Rose Dreaming’ by vb) We’re powdered city girls heading into a club, bright orchids entering the hothouse, spreading fun with noblesse oblige, qua somethings suited for silver screens. Our attention’s as uncertain as the stock market. Experts at mixing trickery and disguise, we’re but vague summations of nature, as we sparkling preen, like excited atoms. Rouged and kohled to unnatural colors, dressed in silk-whispers to tease and entice, in neon-light, broken by par-cans, scanners and champagne flutes, we’re superhero-like immune to societal judgment and aghast rebuke. In our few, fleeting nights of youth let our voices chorus in laughter. What’s it to you? Tell the truth. . .

They sit in the humblest of frames, Faux wood-grained plastic grotesqueries Purchased long ago from some doomed Grants or Bradlees, Though one or two enjoy something nicer, Left behind by some long-timer taking a buyout Or a sympathetic youngster denied tenure (She has, for the better part of three decades, Cleaned up the detritus of middle-school children, A bit stooped from the work, Not to mention the burden Of any number of she’s just  or she’s only Tossed like so much bric-a-brac in her direction.) The approximations of old masters equally eclectic in origin: One or two gallery-quality reproductions Blithely abandoned by some haughty faculty matron Mentoring children through noblesse oblige, The odd promotional piece from a scholastic publisher, Mostly things she has cut from magazines or discarded texts. She studiously avoids pieces tending to the dark or muted, No Stuart portraiture or pensive Vermeers; She has a strong predilection for bold, boisterous Gaugins, Mad cubist Picassos, lush Cezanne still-lifes, Even the odd blocky ******* If you pressed her to explain her fetish For the brightest of the great masters, She would likely be at a loss to explain, Having no academic bent for such things (Though she has been known to curse the shortcomings Of lithographers and pressmen under her breath) And, as she freely admits, I’m not much good with words. There would be the uncharitable suggestion That their purpose is to mask cracks and pockmarks in her walls (She has, to be sure, lived in a long series of such places) But she has never, consciously or otherwise, Used them for such pedestrian and utilitarian purposes; They are, to her anyway, beautiful, and that is all they need be.

It is undeniable, when in the embrace of the great pipe ***** At the venerable old Episcopal church on Third Street, Or wholly encircled by Tiffany-issue stained glass At St. Joe’s in South Troy (ostensibly the “ironworker’s church”, But gifted with its invaluable windows Through a mixture of noblesse oblige, piety, And a certain venal pride) That there is a presence, a corporeality when the tune rises From the pipes, be they iron or wholly human in origin, Which is steadfast and implacable in the certitude of faith. I’d heard the tune on another occasion, Some half-dozen blocks north of the gaggle of churches, Emanating from a squat, red-brick edifice Which seemed a bit unsure of its own solidity, As if the trust placed in mortar and block Was somehow a bit presumptuous. The voices were reedy, a tad threadbare and careworn, And the accompaniment was unprepossessing (A single guitar, perhaps, or an ancient and wobbly Casio Rescued from the beyond by some kindhearted DPW worker) And, though the voices were pitchy And the harmonies a half-step or so amiss, One hopes that it would constitute an acceptable offering, Even not having fully shed the cloak of reticence Which can be so difficult to unclasp on the road to devotion.

Aux mots qu'en son courroux cette ***** murmure, Sans trop cacher pourtant ses pudiques trésors, Notre indiscret, d'un cerf dix cors À tout à coup pris l'encolure. Un pied fourchu s'ajuste à sa jambe, à son bras ; Ses cheveux en rameaux se dressent sur sa tête ; Jusqu'au bout de son nez qui s'allonge, un poil rat Court habiller notre homme en bête. Peu content de voir sur son front Ce qui paraît moins sur le nôtre, Le nouveau quadrupède à décamper fut prompt. Mais, hélas ! un malheur vient-il jamais sans l'autre ? Ses bassets, un peu trop ardents, Et, comme nous, enclins à juger sur la mine, Le suivent en jappant dans la forêt voisine, Où, tout en pleurs, bientôt il périt sous leurs dents. Aucun d'eux cependant n'était ingrat ou traître, Aucun du moins ne croyait l'être, Lorsque dans son sang même ils se désaltéraient ; Ce n'était pas leur pauvre maître, C'était un cerf qu'ils déchiraient. Vous qui d'écrire avez l'audace ou la faiblesse, Si haut que soit le rang où vous plaça le sort, Au destin d'Actéon résignez-vous d'abord, Et surtout oubliez vos titres de noblesse. Bien qu'au pied du Parnasse il soit plus d'un flatteur La critique et sa meute y fixent leur retraite : Quand vous vous donnez pour auteur, En auteur souffrez qu'on vous traite.

Actéon
By: Cedric McClester Is the enemy of the people A free press? Or is it someone You might not have guessed Like a person Who nevertheless Is defined by His acts of excess Is the enemy of the people A free press Or a leader Who lacks largesse When it comes to Those he detests Mexicans, Muslims And the rest Is the enemy of the people A free press Or the leader Who’s like an abscess - tooth But I guess I digress Cos I had to get it Off of my chess Is the enemy of the people A free press Or a faux populist Of the noblesse Who promises more But gives less And whose childish impulses Are unsuppressed Cedric McClester, Copyright © 2017.  All rights reserved.
