INFINITY
"Someday, death will take us to another star."
~Vincent Van Gogh
Painter paint star-spattered paths--purple passion patterns;
Grant me glimpses of immortality in indigo inspirations,
Guide me through galaxies glued inside translucent eyelids,
With pulsating ivory globes.
Ascending into your azure aspirations,
Fractured atoms crumbling into cerulean strings,
Unimpeded by crawling speed of light,
Suspended--momentarily held by grasping moon's golden blood.
Hurtling through cosmic cobalt chaos,
Catapulted through vermillion vortex,
Realms rescinding into realms,
Macrocosms into macrocosms--malleable meldings.
Absorbing ancient ancestral dust,
Ten times ten thousand particles emblazened,
Universal union--super-nova soul's rebirth,
Adrift within a Van Gogh sky.
(inspired by legendary artist, Vincent Van Gogh's painting,Starry Night.)

I really like Van Gogh, Enchantress,
went to Arles in Provence once
just to soak up the atmosphere
and the light, which he caught so
strikingly...what can I say, then,
except that this is such a striking
piece, beautiful..:)

Re. INFINITY
Took one read to hook me on you doll. Love love Van Gogh 👂 if his paintings 🎨 were poetry, i see it in these words. No doubt. The illiteration in the very first line led me directly into to what must have been his madness. 💀 i light a smoke 🚬 sit back, and enjoy again. 💋 i have a view from his room at the asylum, staring right out into his starry night. ⭐🌟💫✨🌙🌛

I love this piece so much!!
Van Gogh's Starry Night is one of my obsessions. I love that he painted that amazing piece from inside an asylum, while experiencing psychosis. It's a lasting reminder of a beautiful mind, albeit influenced by his condition at the time.
Your words bring new life to his Starry Night, beautifully expressing the cosmic dance and thoughts accompanying such a intoxicating view. Your piece is 'Starry Night' beautiful. Thank you for writing this.Vincent would be honoured if he knew his legacy lives on, inspiring beautiful poems like this one xoxo

David....my words fall short in being able to express what your lovely comments mean to me! "Starry Night" is one of Van Gough's best works, IMHO. And i am soo glad the shared viewing of his painting, and my poem, brought out additional beauty in both. You have gifted me with such a high degree of honor, by enjoying/appreciating not only my words, but the work of a master artist as well! Thank you for being so supportive of my poetry! HUGS--of gratitude and happiness!!
