Paintings 
              (Memories of Robin R.)
 
 
 

            I am the mad artist of your soul.
                    With broad brushstrokes I swirl Infinity
                Across the dark places behind your eyes,
                    Across the hidden places
                Of your forbidden mind.
                    Rainbows dance where the sun never shines,
                Hope puts forth hesitant tentacles,
            Love? Ah, but love springs eternal!
                    It drips from my palette in chaotic swirls,
                And touches something deep inside
                    That lies curled, hidden from the light.
                Reality flees. You wantonly abandon yourself
                    To the soft elven kisses of my art.
            Feather-light, my brush-strokes caress your eyelids
                With the promise of things to be.
                    Unrestrained in my madness I unerringly paint
                Your darkest desires, your hidden dreams,
                    And give them form and substance
                And depth and colour, as they emerge
                    And dance across the misty landscape
            Of our mutual dream.
                And as you lie like the sacrificial lamb
                    Dreaming the dream which never ends,
                I labour at my canvass, while your heart
                    Beats inside the gilded cage
                Captured trembling, in the mad reflection
                    Of my twilight eyes.
