The Artist Within poem from "Sensuous Book of Poems"

This poem is from "Sensuous Book of Poems". It was entered in the Tennessee Williams Poetry Contest in Key West. It reminded me of Tennessee Williams. Not many people know he was an Artist. The Artist Within Surrounding colors come alive Blending techniques and styles Capturing realness with dreams Finding sensual passion serene Take a look and what do you see But a painting man who hides Behind the colors that bleed Beyond his years to abide Just a man with brush in hand Choosing subjects from the mind From portraits to faraway lands Creating forms from the blind Shaping the soul with each stroke Not knowing where the reflection may go Once asleep inside now awoke Into a journey of an artist’s woe Each medium has a life of its own Speaking among the lost images No longer a silent space not known But lasting renditions though all ages Surrounding colors come alive Blending techniques and styles
