Straight On

....for you painting by Dale Hilliard (Skybrush)

Straight On

My heart holds no quarter.

Its guitar strings

slide and sing

with the syncopated colors of you,

making Time slip out of tempo

with reality’s past and future

as its illusive directionality

points at this big bang conclusion.

I’m coming straight on for you.

Beautiful artwork and I like the direct and honest tone in the poem. I like the flow of thoughts leading to the strong ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

SkyBrush created some wonderful paintings. Some were done with computer and many on canvas and then put into files.I was fortunate to know Dale H and he would send me his work. The one in this poem is oil on canvas and called "Butterfly"... you have an eye for art coyote, and thanks for your kind words

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome. I believe art allowed the words to gain vision.

But just wanted to acknowledge your review, thank you for it and also to say HI back... at some point I will find the time to visit the audio poems and stories you have posted...
