Your eyes are Himalayan blue,
they mutate from sparkling stars to the silver
of a cold planet.
With indifference you defeat me
until I am nothing more than an empty
vessel sailed away to write love letters
on the wings of distant angels.
When your nights are long
you may find me in the brush of a
homeless Chartreux winding about your
feet or in the sunflower eyes of a girl
passing by.
Vincent Van Gogh
Another slice of beauty from you x

I want to comment to let you know your work is appreciated… but to be frank anything I can say is simply redundant!

Ok then talk about redundancy…
Himalayan blue absolute perfect image – conveying icy purity echoing emotional coldness. This is the blue usually only found in the skies of Maxfield Parrish paintings.
Further having read your quotes of the day I found insights into the depths and breadth of your knowledge and influences, and the quality of thought that you strive to emulate… but you do not emulate, you have taken a myriad of influences and transmuted them into your own unique powerful and lyrical voice.
So many people think they are talented, even more claim to be talented… you simply write and the ease and grace with which you conjure the layers of emotional laden imagery in every single line is testament to your talent.
If I am sounding like a groupie then sorry but I make no apologies for being one. You are magnificent and I am one critical old grump, believe me! And I am not being nice or dressing this up… that does you no service and me no good. This is what I think about the way you write… and sorry if it has embarrassed you! Paul
