More paintings,
sketchings
copper plate etchings
I look and see them all,
and fall into
those hand picked scenes,
paintings,sketchings,
etching dreams.

Landseer,
Constable,
Turner,
Vermeer,
they're all here
selling their scenes
making my dreams
come true.

If there ever was a point in time
where two souls converge and meet as one..
_________
 
This is where the story begins.
This moment is so delicate
the scratching of pen on paper
would only scuff the memoury.
 
Sketchings of thought never occurred.
It just pieced together right in front of us.
The calm but anxious tension was there
Sitting in between the two of us.
 
The shadows danced in and out
Merely taunting our eyes with what could be.
Neither expecting an outcome.

That little plant that stands by the door
Flowers on shelves and the counter
and petals on the floor
Old chalk sketchings poster the walls
Stares both hard and soft enamor us all
A little silver tin of orange chocolates
Refilled every time I am back again
For two soft kisses on cheeks of both me and them
and long wooden table etched with age
where crumbs disappear like magic,
or a quick sweep of the hand
Glass jars filled with pasta and sugar and sand
Lemon on the kitchen top and in the breeze
and red flowers on the terrace stare at the sea
The sea that is small and encompassed by land
and surrounded by sharp peaks
water cradled by a hand
Books and papers stacked all around
Not touched in ages
But found in the sound-- of the
words that so beautifully roll off the tongue
Of two lovely people,
who will remain unsung.

A Heart of stone
erupts into splinters
when acid sketchings
posits the fore.
Broken promises-barricades defences.

Yet truth is said to prevaciate musings.
When bright light is the signifier
Hope can conquer the doubt.

A light-darked etching
A simple-minded fledgling
Sketchings in time life's testing

I am apart

Bravery to fight
Never to prove I am right..

Stalwart as a bulwark..

Stark with my heart..

I am rarely right.. I'm up every night

Never to prove I'm right.

But to prove sometimes.. You are wrong..

We all have moments
Seconds really..
Moments to cherish and moments to fear

All along right or wrong, wrong or right..

I know you're fed up as are many..

So fight

Seek and obtain enlightenment despite judgement..

Lockdown your light..

Make it yours..
