Tucson, 1994
Never forget
Staring into the dark,
Staring down
The dark
Of blacked-out auditorium
Like you are staring down the barrel of a gun,
As Robert Fripp’s sedate guitar
Begins to play, and stops, and then to play again,
Over what was just played,
An electric hum like the echo of the surf
Crashing over the sound of surf:
Over and over, again and again, intricate sound
Concentrating your faculties
When out of the abyssal dark the stage leaps forth,
Frozen, glittering with hoarfrost,
Every detail,
Freed from the void for...

Your Friend Conned You Into Doing It... Right?

classroom and saw his kid
sister posing nude in front of some
students painting their own portraits of her.

A Love Affair with Art
I came into the world
profoundly uninterested
and thoroughly mediocre.
Not all that skilled at sports,
not romantic or great
nor even a joy
to behold in young friendship.
What brought me out of doldrums and
the death statistics for teenagers
was books, a sense that life still had one thing
on which a mind could find purchase.
And art in all its terrifying grace,
the statues looming in the night courtyards
illuminated by their pale limbs of chip,
the checkerboard floor on which I stood

cult of one I am your reward
bleeding metaphors captive to your stare
you imprisoned me long ago
kept me locked from the world
broke me down
within my solitary I am your fascination
your greed for my sex is insatiable
but what you really want is for me to break
coming forth as innocence
my multiple personalities alternate in this cage
you reward my good behavior with glimpses of the outside
a sense of freedom if for but a moment
if I hide from you I am tortured
I seek to confine my mind but I can't stop the...

Dear Poets
I'm out of words temporarily
I am doing art
Maybe I'll be back one day with words
Hold down the fort till I return
Thanks for the support all these years

Willing To Make Good Impressions
To tell the truth,
Holly was...
at first... willing
to make good impressions
on the top studio
heads in Hollywood... but
not while she was standing there naked.

Amanda, The Fairy Queen
She sat astride her throne
Like a beautiful goddess
Gorgeous raven tresses
Long, and flowing
Like the darkened silhouetted leaves
Of a willow, under a moonlight gaze
Her lips, a subtle rouge, gently pouting
And her eyes smiled, with a curious modesty
that both blinked, and blushed, all at once
A picture, that only an artist, could truly capture
Her Rubenesque loveliness glowed
As a golden bloodshot moon
A strange magic, and mysterious mystique
Glowing, and alive
A free-spirited, ethereal being
A latter day Titania ...

works of art
there are those
firm in the belief
art comes from the muse
all inspiration
vision & imagery
gifted magically
perhaps...
but for a moment
think on this
each stroke & sweep
across canvas or screen
as artist creates
is truly a self portrait
when beauty paints
the masterpiece within
