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.

lol hey I have the worst flu but yeh 🤕 today is another really sad day in the world at least we have this place ❤️ thank you my dearest Nev. ❤️
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.
Thank you so much dear Phil. ❤️
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!
