You Tease Me

This almost sounds like a riddle. Is the hole in your painting where someone would fit?
Anyway, it's a beautiful write.

That's a good question
Often words or ideas just come to me based on whatever is happening at the time.  Then I write the poem and try to match it to one my paintings.  The black hole could represent a friend who is struggling at the moment and looking to become whole again.

Many thanks for your comment on my writing and art.
I appreciate it !!

Hot damn, Poet. That's good. I dunno what else to say. I just had to read it about 5 times...

You already know how I feel about the art. 😘
❤️k

5 times
WOW
That really makes me happy
This is the 2nd coming on the art, leaving it now as a mysterious vibe

Thanks k
🤠❤

Did I say only 5 times? Hmm, it's a little addictive, this one. Thought provoking. Or maybe I'm just procrastinating... 😉

It's fun when I get to watch your art evolve.
❤️k

I may have to send you this one
What do you think of that ??

BIG THANKS

I think... gifts always make my heart happy.
Forgive me, but I might have to RL this. 😉

Oh boy! let's not talk defense mechanisms. :p
I know I never give anyone a break I suppose.
But people seem to like it so... I guess it's okay.
You won't tell anyone, just everyone. lol
I know I am still learning the love yourself part.
You might be waiting a while...
but the right person can speed up the process, right?
Really like this a lot PS.
Could feel the love, it says a lot...

Loving yourself is tough.
Took me years to figure out how to do it myself but once I did, a lot of other people issues fell into place.  My relationship with some family members were difficult.  After many years of struggling and trying to fix stuff that was unfixable, I just stopped.  Eventually I learned how to forgive them but most of all how to forgive myself.
You're young and spirited and pretty funny.  Hope the humor always saves the day.  
Glad you like this offering, pretty serious for a snarky New Yorker like me !!
❤🤠

Thanks Sms

Tough on the exterior but z BIG MUSH inside
Don't tell anyone
Thx B
🤠🤯💓

As Shakespeare wrote, "Brevity is the soul of wit."  Short, cogent, contemporary. Good write!

Thank you Sir Warrior
These poems flash before me and I write them quickly
Appreciate the nod
Means a lot from a man of your prowess !

Hello Gary. Before reading your poem I interpreted your art as the dark thumbprint left by happy little fake relationships.
I’m glad to know that this was not your vision for your poem, which is quite lovely and hot btw.

Wow, that's quite an interpretation.
I'm glad you don't think that now.
I had a different middle foe awhile and other people didn't love that either so I went to a black hole approach that in reality kind of floats.

Thx for your support Mary !!
🤠❤

Show the woman the compassion and she will go wild.  Keep on writing.

I buy her vanilla creme glazed donuts, she goes wild on my man thing ...

There's a wonderful opening rhythm here, that really draws me in--a little swing in the midst of 3 syllable/1 stress runs.
Enjoy that.
Also, the painting--kind of reminds me of the late Twin Peaks mythos, with a black "hole" growing in the center of so much pleasant pastel.

I really like your comments Mark
Poem wrote itself
Reworked the painting middle.   To me it's a floating black hole with a Rene Magritte middle feel

Thx so much!!

This is very moving. I am fond of black. And the way you have used it in this piece is beautiful.
Warm Regards

I'm moved by your love of black.  I wear a black t-shirt everyday without fail.  It's my anthem and statement.

Many thanks James for your comment and RL ...

I love the caring, tender sentiments here... And the beautiful painting really goes well with this piece.... So lovely ❤

Thank you ID
Such a charming thing to say
I appreciate you
💞

I get the impression this is personal.....?  

The painting, the middle "cut out" portion.  I'm weird I know, but I can see that as a place for someone's smiling face to fill.  Surrounded by the "hope and joy"  bubbles.  

Also, I am pretty sure this write of yours is a part of a continuance...
We will see!

You're a wise man Styx
This one is about someone but is also universal for all relationships where further understanding is in play ...
I might have had an epiphany lately or else I'm going soft in my old age... Good thing is I kinda like my changes ...

Stay tuned brother....

Thx for all

Hey PS

Love this side of you. Patience.
Wonderful ending:)
I struggle with that. hahaha
The painting feels like a statement piece. Goes so well with
your poem.

Yo 🔥 Hot Sauce

I think I like writing LOVE POEMS the best !
Endings are tough I admit, leaving them thinking there is more works pretty good

I reworked the middle on this painting and I got a lot of response to the "black hole"
What does that tell you ha ha ??

Thx for the comment
Always a pleasure A

Patience is a virtue...ladies love that stuff. No swearing here this was like spooning, but on paper. Love it and you. <3

The fine art of waiting ..
Yes, definitely a virtue and certainly not easy in our disposable world.
Spooning, yes a lovely part of romantic Interludes.
Seems like I'm always waiting but filling the blanks too.
It's 4:27am, I should be sleeping but alas I'm not ..
Thank you for your love
❤❤

Ill always love you!  <3  

💖💗💓💞💕💟💔🧡💥💥💢🤍🖤💜💚💛💛

Appreciate the nod

Poet, you’re on a roll. These pieces always offer the raw true honesty.

It’s a BiG LIKE

Thats so good to hear Wally
I'm writing less but trying to make them count
Appreciate your comment and RL

THX W

Wow, what an amazing comment
I really like when someone gets these psychological poems with art to match.  Loving yourself isn't easy, took me years to appreciate myself and being able to square some things in my mind.

Thanks so much for your read and comment
