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
Capturing realness with dreams
Finding sensual passion serene
Within An Artist by Renne' Siewers
Sensuous Book of Poems can be found on Amazon and Kindle.
