Brushes

The skin of the night…dark shades it has

A short remedy for my social allergy;

A moon shaped dream that smells of jazz

While thoughts perform the dance of anarchy.

 

And there is war around every corner

Between egos and vanities…

Sincerity could be the armor

Yet I still hide in my castle of fantasies…

 

I gaze into your silent amber and I know

Your time is not the same as mine.

Yet how stunning those ghostly seconds aglow

While hearts play their pantomime

 

Yet still,

Gifting resplendent paintings

To this watercolor universe

Thank you :)

Very pleasant to read, a fine arrangement.

Someone once said to me "ego is not your amigo", called it the start of all wars, literally and figuratively.

I like how you ended it, speaking of amber and time. All of this electronic s**t we post and leave behind is like a modern version of a mosquito fossilized in amber. Probably not as timeless though... The Cheavuax cave paintings are only 30ish thousand years old. Fossilized amber is millions of years old. I'm not certain our collective hard drives will last that long.

(I enjoyed the music as well)

I actually have the stuff written down...not as ageless as the ember, but still, it will hang on longer than technology...of course the Ica stones collected by Javier Cabrera are millions of years old despite what wikipedia says...
Thank you for reading David(?) you have like a bazilion names haha

[Davidgeo]

The Ica stones were a hoax I thought.

Names are irrelevant in this place. Can I call you Doug for a few days?

[Ana B.]

i guess you're right, names are irrelevant indeed, haha, go ahead, why not...

[Davidgeo]

Dougy... you're a good sport.

[Ana B.]

it only works with people who have the right humor))

[Davidgeo]

That's true. From my point of view, almost everybody has terrible sense of humor. No one gets my jokes these days Doug.

[Ana B.]

Well, if i wouldn't regard my life with humor I'd be totally screwed..and i can relate ..no one gets my jokes or what the hell I'm talking about most of the time.figures

Poetry that's obvious is usually boring anyway.

"The skin of the night…dark shades it has

These lines just pulled me in. You have some really epic lines here '... still hide in my castle of fantasies..." This one is just awesome and relatable too.
Loved reading this. I like your word choices, Ana :)

[Ana B.]

Thank you for the lovely words dear Yumna :)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I loved this poem dear Ana.
"And there is war around every corner
Between egos and vanities…
Sincerity could be the armor
Yet I still hide in my castle of fantasies…"
The above lines. I could write a epic poem from. The poem made the think and ponder many things. Thank you Ana for sharing the amazing words and poetry.

Thank you for the beautiful review, dear John :)

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome dear Ana.

[Lorry]

This is....delicious, it's the only word I can think of that comes close to describing the pairs of lines (jus how I read it), as the perfect ingredients that come together perfectly to make the finished product, complete and resplendent. Some of these lines, if not all of them, could be a complete poem in themselves, yet your last lines bring them all together to finish on a high note. Superb.

[Ana B.]

Thank you for the wonderful words Nemonomore :)

[Chris]

Beautifully themed, a painted treasure of the Mother's wonderful life.
