The Painting

The Painting

Fusion canvassing chromosome strokes 
	from passion’s palette of rapturous hues,
unbidden form shaping, the mind’s eye soaked,
	wending its way through silvers and blues;
Glistering traces mizzling from the sky
evanescent as fireworks on the 4th of July
	feminine contour seductively set
	languishing limerence in festooned silhouette

Born into life with a splashing of glaze,
An ectoplasm of love all ablaze
	Signed and delivered, newborn, to fate
	a star shooting heavenward named celebrate.

Praise and ebullience filling half to a whole,
the twin of her nature and mate of her soul
	for a promise of fortune and illusion of fame
	separated and orphaned by iniquitous domain
Cuffed with a price tag, draped in a store
shuffled thru town like a pimp shops a whore.
	exuding estrangement, while no takers found
	a passing occurred in the absence of sound;
		Hung on the din of some wall until death
		into the dearth escaped her last breath

Taken down like Christ from the cross
doubtless considered not even a loss
	rushed to the place of her bereaving mate
	loveless and lifeless, arriving too late
		cremated in flames on a decaying heap
		Rest in peace, celebrate,love’s legacy shall keep.
