Van the man

how to express  
this paladin born from art  
epistles velveteen  
 
a word for a word  
fountainpen fireworks unheard  
portraits so profound  
lunacies of love  
 
mermaids moving  
through wild creeks and streams  
quote me an apostrophe  
become each line  
beyond mortalities  
 
your signature  
pallet of a sage  
quintessence  
living is a dying art  
 
as art becomes my quest  
where all ignites 
as only  
the fiercest  
loveliest  
 
light
