A Beautiful Madness

Teddy.15

 

It is true that my only real universe 

 

is the certifiable one

 

 that lives inside my mind 

 

but I still have space

 

space for possibility

 

the possibility to think and reflect

 

and to paint

 

madness, being my best friend

 

when he knocks on my door

 

we paint

 

we paint

 

 almost as if

 

my heart be in my hand

 

we spread the joy

 

through tears of disgust and loneliness  

 

together, eyes closed

 

 brushing our next masterpiece

 

who cares if anybody likes it?

 

it’s mine, hell it’s ours?

 

and I shall find a place for it

 

maybe madness wants to take it home?

 

placing it on his mantelpiece?

 

I admit, I miss him dearly

 

when he has to leave

 

never knowing if he’ll ever return?

 

but, he always does

 

and for today

 

i’m satisfied

 

 with what we have achieved

 

this…

 

a beautiful madness.

        Wow, this word-art is for sure a masterpiece. Is it a sensation of being elsewhere when you create your art. You're right, what others think is inconsequential. What matters is the relationship of the artist to the art. In this case both are beautiful. Thoroughly enjoyed by me. - Phil A.

          Seal said it best, I believe:
          'But we're never gonna survive unless
          We get a little crazy
          No we're never gonna survive unless
          We are a little crazy
          No no, never survive, unless we get a little bit
          Oh, a little bit
          Oh, a little bit'
          from 'Crazy' by Seal
          (I do appreciate your poetry's sincerity
          In everything you write, there you
          are..
          It's a privilege to get to know you
          through your own choice words
          my cherished friend)
          Hope you n yours have a wonderful week!
