    Self-Portrait

    Self-Portrait

    There are days
    when I feel like Pollack
    inside, vibrant, violent colors,
    bleeding paint out of the pores,
    a disarrayed splatter of chaos.

    I walk in a Pre-Raphaelite
    dream, like floating upon air,
    lurking Nymph like in Waterhouse
    streams, framed within
    Dantesque intensity.

    I have become trapped
    within a Cubist cage
    and find myself becoming
    all hard angles, razor sharp
    edges yet losing sight of myself,
    I know only twisted contortions.

    Vanishing into the Starry Starry
    Night, drinking in Midnight Cafes
    I watch myself like a distorted
    stranger from afar, the lines of
    reality starting to fade gradually.

    You pull me through, my
    Caravaggio, tormented soul,
    yet with such startling clarity,
    I become entranced as your
    Narcissus gazing in the pool.

    When I begin to become
    disarranged in Picasso
    fashion, misplacing everything
    I recognized within myself,
    you know how to realign
    my delusions and restore me
    to Botticelli splendor.

    superb write
    some very interesting comparisons
    a shape to a human is like air to water. inseparable.
    it may never try
    but when it does it sigh
    it is just that
    good
    it fly
