Melting

M.E.M.

Time slows down for no one 

But oddly enough it seems to slow down for the painter 

Letting his imagination soar to new highest

Once his brush touches the smooth canvas 

It doesn't stop 

The colors and images keep appearing

Time just seems to melt away 

Getting slower and slower with every stroke 

Soon it stops completely

Letting the painter have freedom 

Letting him have just enough time to paint another world

Time slows down for no one 

Time is everyone's enemy 

Except the painters.

    Good write M. In that case, it's not always true that 'time goes slowly when one is NOT enjoying oneself'!

    Ahh...yes...
    “Time is everyone’s enemy”...

    ...for those who don’t have
    enough of it...
    ....and for those who
    have too much of it...!

    Awesome choice of a
    Surrealist painting for
    your interesting write
    about time! He is one
    of my favorite painters!
    Enjoyed the read!
    Thank you!

    Hi there, I like your poem and Salvador Dalis' painting - Syd

  • FredPeyer

    M.E.M., this is the best write-up on this Salvador Dali painting I have ever read! I is also the only one I have ever read. 🙂
    Seriously, you did write something special here.

    Good write, that painting is iconic in the movement of time. His other paintings are well worth looking at as well.
