cadmion blue

[judih]

between tones, insistent
tints of hope
watercolour bas-relief
muted moan
shy stains on a sleeping canvas

a kiss that darts between elbows
i plant my mark on you

while planets dream
in half-time
tandem
sweet nothings
have their way with me

is this the colour
of my love
an oozing tube modestly spent
to paint you
in print and folly
& to sign in pre-dawn whisper


judih

[mousey1]

such beautiful words judih

such a beautiful painting

sighable....

siiiiigggggghhhhhhh

[mousey1]

can we paint the stars

capture the glimmering hope

kept twinkling so bright

that it self-implodes


how many times

can hope die


count the stars

[judih]

hope dies a little bit
it pales
and then rebirths in brighter shades

(where'd the painting go?)

[mousey1]

(where'd the painting go?)

you should know

you painted it

as far as I can tell though

it's there

still in my mind

delirious

desirous

swirls



it resides

with my hope

[WIREMAN]

carried along on the
varied strains of blue
songs are like tatoo's
don't ya know????????..."i wish i was a river".......joni said

[judih]

and on my brow
i proudly wear the tattoo
of sound and folly
a mouth going nowhere
a brain following fast

[mtmynd]

stars gone from the skies
the clouds cover the sun
i reach into my holster
and quick fire six shots
into the abyss
without a drop of blood
being shed
i dread
the loneliness of time
erasing memories
into chalk dust
swept into the void

(a mouth going fast
a brain following nowhere)
