6x6 Oil by T L Cope

 

 

 

....... faces in my head

personalities,

they hold on to things,

ways .....

scratch and claw against time.

I am old only in my reflection

alone in a sea of millions.

It is hard to understand today

when tomorrow is already here ........

"Blue Madonnas" 16x20 Oil on Canvas by TL Cope;

 

 

Eyes strain

Wait, Just Wait,

Give dark a chance

This bone black death of light

Breath,

Let your sense switch from sight

Your vision now lies in touch 

It should be cool

but it's not

sweat drips like rain

hands grip familiar things

just waiting for a pinhole of light

it's coming to your rescue

soon

soon

 but first

ghost like shapes in blue

 madonnas dancing around the room

Like a religion, beliefs and faith

If you stand still

you are safe

your are saved

by those madonnas

Yes! 

Those Madonna's dancing around the room

 

Surfer Oil on Canvas 16x20 by Terrence L Cope August 7th, 2013

 

I pull out those memories of my time in the tempest, gathering strength from the wind and the waves, the ravaging time that has long since calmed and gentled to permanently grey in this fog that has settled on old aged hands still reaching for meaning of those wind tossed seas and the passing of faces ... long lost to shores and lapping of time, abrasive in the rolling of swells that long ago settled in my soul...and does not believe its own reflection ....

And in that life .....a surfer

Mastering the powers of the sea

But that was another life

before I was planted like a tree
