Safe House

Life in NYC, or at least that's what it sounds like to me reading the poem.
Brilliant! Real!, no bullshit, no filler, love it!

Thanks K.O.

Running away always has some kind of appeal.
Starting over where nobody knows you is an interesting concept ….

Appreciate your read and comment !

I've never been successful at running away from myself. Wherever I go...there I am! But if you need an appreciative audience for the cello...that's my mood

I love cello music.
I can’t play it but I envision myself doing so.
It’s so moody like me.
Mostly cloudy music …

Thanks Willow

Fuck the Today Show
go for
Saturday Night Live
assuming that's still running lol

I haven’t watched SNL in years.  It stoped being funny around 1980.  Today show just as bad …
Network TV mostly blows ..

Thx for your comment AP !

The underrated musical genius Roy Wood, the founder of ELO, (along with Jeff Lynn) was the first to combine classical with rock and roll. The result worked quite well, obviously.

Very cool art. I like running away too. Never escape myself but get to see new places.

Play that funky cello white boy...

Yeah, I remember those dudes.
Jeff Lynn especially

I don’t play the cello. Only in my fantasies.
But those fantasies are pretty intense just like my other wants and desires …

I wonder what happened to Emerson, Lake and a Palmer ?  They don’t seem to be around at 80 singing Brain Salad Surgery or whatever that song was ?

Thx Pink  
You thrive in this kind of write I think..

Hmm. This is an interesting write, PS.
The metaphor of running, when you lead such a stand-and-fight life, is excellent.
I liked the way you committed to your art, the way you pushed aside bullshit until you'd done what you came to do. It was a powerful moment, and you paired it well with the muted orange; which gives a sunset or end of day vibe. As if to say, this is closing, but it's not finished. The circles felt like eye, and I feel like that was intentional.
Nice.
This had a lot of depth to it. I enjoy this side of you.

Hi Betty,

I really like how you interpreted this write.
I’m always fantasizing about isolating myself and creating art and music.  Unfortunately I can’t  play the cello but I like to think in the sound and mood of that stringed instrument.  Painting and art is my go to creativity.  It came to me in my 20s and never left.
My family has a bunch of painters in it so a natural flow I guess that it would find me too. They studied art but I was self taught.  I just feel it and do it.  A partial gift I suppose …

Thanks so much !!

Youre never lonely with me, PS. <3 Love the painting

Big Thanks Alison ..

Wasted in the dark heat

The painting is big and open even though in reality its small.  It's a 4" x 6" painting on watercolor paper.  But that's the wonder of capturing art and having it compliment writing which I often do.  Often I'll write and then look through my hundreds of images and paintings to find the right mood to fit my poems.  Sometimes it's a whole painting or Sometimes just a section.  I'm a takes what given kind of artist.  Give me paint and I I'll forgive you a painting back ...

Appreciate your comment Dragonblood !!

Thanks

Somewhere where we have no one, except our own company is where the artistic juices flow best (imo)

I love this one, it fits your gorgeous painting - probably my favorite of yours so far.

Awesome choose of title too, bravo PoetSpeak.

That's a BIG WOW comment D ..

It's a painting with a lot of space to get lost in so I'm glad you can appreciate the words and art !!

It's a favorite of mine too so that resonates with me that you like it so much...

Stay tuned, hopefully this will be a productive Spring ...

Thank you so much 💓

Happy to hear my comment was a BIG WOW for you and that's a favorite of yours too.

it's truly a work where you can get lost in, I love the orange too.

I love Orange 🧡
It's warm and Hot and dramatic..
I've always thought it was an underrated color so I like to give it, it's due.
It's a STATEMENT color
Glad it hits for you too !!!

Thanks D ✋

Your poetry, like a still life painting so beautifully captures those moments in life that are of such importance to us all.

What a great comment Thor !

I really appreciate your thoughts on this poem and painting.

Who wouldn’t want to escape to do their craft and make something meaningful?  I appreciate you Sir

Thank you

Shit happens we just have live life and make it better.  Keep on writing.

Indeed that's true

March on

I think we all aspire to compose our opus. Not sure if I've said this before you're pretty badass, a nice combination of art and poetry.
BL sir.

I’m the ultimate Yin Yang !!
Appreciate the nod Wally
Hope your summer is going well

Thx
