I paint me my
   Rarely seen
         Watercolor Soul.

Purple-blue
  Washed in Gold.

I stain my Page
   Silver rain
        For Age.

Streak my Sky-

Dark clouds
    To hide
  Evaporated Pain;
      Clumped tight
           Inside.

Invisible Wind
   To blow through them-
  Make them
       Shift...
              Make them
    Bend.

Exquisite
     Watercolor
            Shapes
  Within...

Hide the Truth
Behind Watercolor Lies.

Stain-wash skies
Shoulder the burden
    Of my Soul...

Salt-water shades
    Cover the page.

Bending,
       Swirling,
   Shades,
              Hues...

Fake the Fable
    To hide
              What's True.

Landscape.
           Still-life.
     Portrait too...

Abstract literal
    Art of the Soul-

Eye-bait
      To placate
    Pain-laden
         Substrate.

For Beauty lies
        Behind the Eyes
     Of the gentle gazers
               Passing by.

Gaze not
     Deeply,
   At my Sky.

Wonder not
  At the turbulence
      Of the clouds...

....of what they hide....

-Think Only-

They are beautiful
    Wind-swept Skies.

Watercolor Memories
    Of a happier time.

Watercolor Lies
     That Pain
                  Hides
          Behind.

Trapped on the Page-

The perfect cage.

No tears to undo
     The most perfect Hues.

Put it in a Frame.
Hang it on a Wall.

Testament to torment
      Held-
                In hideous thrall.

To the beauty of Lies.

Watercolor Tears
        fall...
   The painting-
         hides it all.

Watercolor Pain
   In clouds
        That never let go.

Watercolor Truth
    Held captive...
        Held-
                For Show.

But only for those
   Whose Eyes
       Truly know....
  Whose Eyes
          Never close.

Who See
      In Me-

....Watercolor Prose....
