KNOWLEDGE
EACH word created brings you closer to him
You hug love one last time
Knowing you belong to heartache
You’re not educated
But tongue speaks knowledge when we kiss
You’re not a poet who rocks with style
Dior is not your Christian
You want to be noticed
To be called beautiful
So you toss to the world your costume jewelry
Pile them high on the Brooklyn Bridge
Swinging your nylons on fire
They burn sending ashes to the wind
Another stands near
Mimicking your tears
She sinks her life savings and profanity in a box
Waiting for you to do the same
You color your hair with mud
They will notice your climax
Tap dance your yearning
Your cries inescapable
With this obsession to be you again

Bonjour,
Quelle beauté! Il m'a été très difficile de me connecter sur votre blog mais Dieu merci, j'ai réussi!

There is a higher self to everyone, an alternate spirit that visits us in moments of pain and clarity.
The mirror image in that painting shows one enlightened and one tortured soul. To see this division and union in each of us is divine.
You and your sister are so talented.
Great poem. Er, can't find the painting...

Bonsoir chère amie,
J'aime et j'adore ces peintures. La première fois que je suis venu les découvrir sur ton blog, j'ai de suite penser à une véritable ressemblance avec Paul Gauguin.
Bravo ma chère pour ton talent.
Je t'embrasse et te souhaite une agréable soirée
beautiful...thanks for spendng time with 'gargoyle'.
there is sadness in knowledge. and the way you split the self makes it worthwhile...
