Awakening

The art

Painting souls
on a naked pallette

Dip brush to skin
stroke and touch
the colour runs
dabbed to still
then brought across
in refined movement

A landscape of no completions

Foreground

Limbs entangle
undergrowth
coiling gnarled connections

Background

Mouth pressed to sky
lips rouge morning sun
the ridge of ribs
mountians rising
through thin cloud wisps

Perspective

The frown
the furrowed flesh
warmth spreads in waves
pushing against and away

A gasp
rasping against throat
soothed by
kissed balms of peace
within turmoils burn

Seen and blurred

by scent and sex
