Lyrics, poetry and art all meshed together

ROSE COLOR INK

Can I curse my fingers without bleeding?
Seeking the pleasure of words to resurrect
Feed the mask I have worn for a decade
I turn to dead poets
Paddling their scripts
For a minute I see them
Stepping
Emphasizing on stage
Creatures of the night
Tongues blossom graffiti
Before I am asked another poem
I study with parched dreams
Hanging in my bedroom closet
Cautiously I dip face in pastel ink
Fabrication prevails
Lifting spine of sleepless fingers
Bracing
Pen and paper
Once again

I loving the art and the poem. this first one looks like you. :)

I love this poem!

and you know what, stephen is right. Your paintings, some of the characters, they really look like you :) Most of the time, artists/painters paint without realizing this, but it's true...somehow, there'll be similarities between artist and his/her subject...

Enjoyed your paintings but I'm really attracted to the 3rd one as it's really quite unique!

your art is full of such vibrancy and life. i love them.

the poem speaks a life of its own.

ps. read your poem in Essence; good show. i'm going to submit to them also. did in the past and they said they weren't taking submissions; maybe they will this time.
