[hometext] => I found myself in a modern art gallery out of curiosity.As much as I tried, I could not be inspred by any of it.I feel a touch of guilt for being critical, should I ?
[bodytext] => Standing here, the empty cup, drained of all emotion Eyes glazed, deceived by something that to my gaze represents nothing Deeper meaning locked in chambers of the mind, suffocated by congealed imagination An outsider to this world I see as only smoke and mirrors Under the banner of artist I seek to raise some empathy Obliged to affinity, through desire to create my own canvas Blasphemous in analysis to what greets my encumbered vision A single red line on a pristine white canvas Yet I do not denounce the form, just a facet My thirst is sated by accurate depictions, not random shapes and arcs That demand comprehension, like adherence to a code they dare not see broken This mafia, this sense police, brotherhood of the brush Contorted nothing dies in the flame of my inner self Rips out euphoric heart, leaves a corpse bathed in abstract emptiness Create your lines but do not mindwash me with deceptive labels You offer one view, I will draw my own conclusion In these hallowed halls, light dancing through the window holds my attention Nature's dreamscapes pure and honest dazzle and refill me A glance back across to this elaborately conceived charade I am the little boy, these are the Emperor's new clothes.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
