Paint, Mother


I smeared a finger through the stars that clung to the kitchen basin, where you doused the embers at the tip of your brush and washed away the dry universe that stood to long, unstirred. Chaos, you crafted. Woven gold to grace the blue that thundered in the frame that whispered. A centre, a circle, a broken moon. A galaxy of strokes minute, that rampaged in silent consent of rebellious uniformity. One day, mother. One day, not so far in my imaginings. The land will know, the world will see; you mind in colour on canvas captured. Your everything in emanating - chaos

Painting Pigeons

Those thoughts that flutter aimlessly in my mind; always there, always in motion - the pigeons in head. A literal understanding of this understanding would present more than enough reason to release these thoughts. Luckily for me, they (figuratively) mould quite easily into ink and thus onto the internet. My poems are the thoughts of a boy/young man and, like most such musings, they often fall short of their potential I would gladly appreciate any tips, corrections and/or motivation. :)
