blank landscapes by Bethany LeeSunday; Saturday
The sacred, whatever-you-feel-like-doing days.
The breath on your neck ceases;
strong sighs of relief follow.
The alarm clock wont yank you suddenly
From the middle of a masquerade,
Leaving your eyes jaded to the newly found sunlight.
A shower melts the dreams away
Leaving your color-washed canvas blank.
There were landscapes there lastnight

Posted by Max Bouillet on 07/28/10 at 02:20 AM The picture at night is always more alluring than what is painted in the morning. Morning has that pesky reality feel that erases the nights magic. Morning shakes the etch a sketch clean. Great read! |
