The copy lies still
Sunlight spills across pages
Step softly within

My painter's
heart weeps
In blue-lit
dark

Cost of pain
lingers close
#cost of love
lost in blue

Canvas cries
in shade
Agony
in endless screams

There's a #distance
between my body
and the soul
it once housed

It keeps growing silently

I was a body of leaves
Blown by warm breeze
Then the sky came weeping
on me

Now, even air hurts
whenever I breathe

#canoodling days
left footprints in the sand

Imperceptibly
we drifted apart
when love corroded into rusted leaves

"Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle"
So, too, do regrets and memories

and waves washed away our footprints

There goes
my #inspiration
a swallow
on the wing
vanishing into a sky

of lilac dusk,
where sunset's final flush
sinks into a grief-laced
purple blush

My waiting page
remains,silent, empty
save for the weight of
brooding clouds

The staircase ascends
its railings
stretching toward #infinity

A thousand steps,
silent, endless,
Devouring my aching feet
Still, the summit evades me

Blue Nude on my wall
Picasso painted you
in the language of solitude

Your body bends like a question
The inward curl of your shoulders holds
an ache in every shadow

Are you just

A wave retreating
A figure dissolving into pigment
Or a ghost swathed in #cerulean blues
