I paint when I write
I write when I paint
________________________________________
Chisel, chisel, away
Night and day
Let no one stop you
Let that emerge what's true!
________________________________________
Poetry, essentially
is a short circuit.
Blows your fuse!
________________________________________
Why?
That it is a coded language
which bypasses your walls
reaches your heart?!
________________________________________
A tweak here, a cut over there,
a turn of phrase.
Pull back and look again.
Read it out loud, sounds good?
You have a poem there
________________________________________
All who are born are destined to die.
The path you choose is entirely on you.
And there are those who walk,
helpless, down the poetic path.
________________________________________
A poet is one,
who having written
the perceived truth,
doesn't edit it
goes ahead
and shares
with the world.
Regardless!
________________________________________
Don't just stand there,
Do something.
Sit.
Like a Buddha!

Painting is poetry with colors,
Poetry is painting with words!

Poetry is a deed.
Indeed!
