Painting 1

Unfinished Painting: 

Sketching ideas,
Expanding with colors,
Mindful and sensual
Perceptions and desires:

To an unexpected pent-up

Kiss long sealed in the brush,

Awaiting the right moment

To unseal and succumb

To the shortness of breath

To drown ideas and language.

The shadows twisting,

Turning, commingling,

Between red and black

Between kiss and kiss

Between a stroke of a brush

Between us and we;

The wine color finished,

The brushing dance

Continued,

Intertwining with colors,

tasting deep in-herself,

Quenching desires.

All I see are shadows,

Projecting shadows,

Shadows mingling

With shadows

Projecting and turning

On a white canvas;

All colors between

Red and black

Between black and black,

Between brush and brush,

Spread out the plural me.

The black rain boots

Leaning naturally

Outside the canvas frame

Witnessing the painting,

Tracing her steps,

Mingled with the shadows.

The play of light and dark,

The chiaroscuro,

Revealed a whisky

In the upper corner

Untouched, unseen.

Gently the boots

Leaned up and slowly

Walked away:

The footprints remain.
