Beyond Pain

WL Schuett

deeming to defy the morning 

of its logic, 

pennies on the eyes of dawn .

Earthen pillars of light 

and shadow, 

were gestures of burning faith .

making you believe in the 

death of the Lowlands Goddess. 

No birds will sing today .

 

The Marshlands smelled 

of unanswered prayers . 

Looking for the restoration 

of her lost honor

but , haunted by a

thousand slain gardens . 

Was a quiet alumni 

of the rain .

 

a dark heart with a 

bloodied mind 

churching me with 

prophetic dreams . 

A fallen castle, 

shattered walls , 

breached moat . 

Listen to my darkness, 

beyond pain 

but not beyond sorrow . 

 

Staring with just just one eye 

through the lunette of 

the guillotine at 

thirteenth century morals .

Soaring wounded Angels 

had made a covenant 

with the Harvest moon . 

Violence is always ripe 

it never has a season !

 

Fear is not sacred 

the safest places can 

only be visited . 

in the corridors of 

endless sleep , 

there is no difference 

between life and art . 

It is where the Goddess 

shall dwell forever !

    Beautiful work Bill - both poem and painting.

  • myself and me

    reflecting the light of desire,
    the attractive color dripping off
    can not resist the temptation to taste
    the perfect fruit
    without considering the poison and consequence
    Beyond pain
    but never beyond sorrow

    Great painting, great poem, WL!
    And you are so right,
    art is life, and life is art
    and the two shall never part
