EYE
EYE stumbled in front of the spring garden
EYE devoured its colors
how could EYE not?
EYE saw the troll in the corner
EYE focused only on its antagonism
EYE resented the persistence
of yet another specter
EYE didn’t want to acquiesce
Closing my eyes
I reminded myself darkness tries
to infringe on beauty
I planted those bulbs
I am mindful of not accepting
malice’s invitation
I let the troll fade into the background
I see the covetable unabridged landscape
in its entirety
how could I not?

You were the first person to welcome me to the DUP, now the first to comment on this poem. I think the first other times too. Funny I mention this 😜 Always glad to receive your love and light no matter when it arrives!

Hello MidnightSonneteer!
Panoptic… I love that you described it from that perspective. And “brilliant” makes me blush!
Thank you! And thank you for the RL as well!

Dear NG,
Your art along side your poems is simply outstanding. It’s a beautiful painting that goes so wonderfully with the words. It’s ironic, all the beauty of the garden yet…something ugly lies in wait, and how to rid or at least circumvent the yuck. I love your perspective. Fabulous piece. H🌷

Re. EYE
Well, I have to comment on the obvious of spring is in the air. Or we can’t wait for it with all the cold weather. Rebirth and renew. A troll pops up for an ode to the Irish and Saint Patrick Day and the celebration of the subliminal meaning of the composition. Good verses evil. Or both exists all the time in constant support or opposition of each. Your expression to convey messages are extraordinary. Both pieces are multifaceted and the more you stare at the art, the more it touches your soul. I am sure many artists put blood, sweat, and effort mixed with pigment to drive home emotional and spirituality expressions. But, when you can read the artist’s own words and they are equally complex and layered with embedded concepts and thoughts that explain the contrast of the canvas composition well I am just blown away.
I am an avid reader on this sight. I find many authors with points of view I enjoy immersing myself in. But there are only a few who are as complex and thoughtful as your attention to how you challenge and delight your reading audience. I am very fortunate to have found where you choose to publish your spirit.

"I"refer to yourself, also "eye" is a reference to the window of the soul to the outside world, you're light, you devoured light and beauty, you conquered darkness and gave the look and a meaning to the truth of this world
