6x6 Chunky Untitled Floral ... Cartoons of Color

by Terrence L Cope

Sun finds openings in a canopy of oak and palms. A green soup condemns the light to time primitive. Regal and white, bright, as if it's lone purpose is to fight back the darkness. Dressed up in its finest the Egret moves center stage from a shadow world. I blend into a moment, a chance collection of passing's, time adrift in an eternity.

6x6 Chunky Floral in White
by Terrence L Cope

I know, I know, you think I'm crazy
There is this white, you think I'm lazy
Living room ..... an empty space
You have to put something in that place
You try so hard, with all your might
White spaces just don't seem right
It's acne, a pimple a blight somehow
Going crazy over nothing, having a cow
I panic, perspire, clinching my heart
To the point that it's realized I can't see the art.

Lady Kukufer Kokopaups .... my Y2K baby

Missed you old friend.

Looked for you all night

That white muzzle haunting

The absent of light

I left the door cracked

For when you'd use your head

To open the door

When you went to bed

Sorry old friend

You always were

That bouncy old puppy

I bought from the store

I did not notice

The cancer that set

Or the arthritis 

That caused you to walk with a limp

I cherished that first day

I'll remember the last

I want back the middle

It went way to fast

Goodbye 'Paups"

To you went my heart

As I felt yours stop beating

To death we did part

Today I find myself afloat
In a starry Styrofoam boat
Surrounded by a sliver mist
On mirrored waters oh so still
Not a ripple, not a sound
Except an occasion bubble
Memories rising to break the surface
Only to be quickly quelled
And swallowed by the greyish realm
To disturb the numbness that I feel
No pain, no sadness, no anything
A perfect bliss without a care
Not to know where my soul ends
and to where my skin begins
I sit inside this light grey womb
Comforted that its to soon
To rise and face the good and bad
Of the 16 years that we once had
16 years that's gone away
16 years that ends today
No sadness as I held your head
As you slipped away from me
And my hand that felt your last heart beat
No tears as you melted on the floor
As I stood and walked out the door
Into this numbness was set adrift
Aimlessly within my ship
On an ocean void of waves
captured in this brittle haze
My mind numb in this silent fog
I tell myself it was just a dog.
