Be Somebody

Be Somebody - George Underwood (1947- )


in a perfect world of
sculpted 
creamy
mannequins

like
cloned
bone 
swimsuits

breathing

(perhaps)


there can only be 

subtle

revolution

in

chained
soul
music


This painting graces a recent album cover of the Norwegian rock band Ungdomskulen

Moonlight

John Atkinson Grimshaw (1836-1893) ~ The Old Hall Under Moonlight
This oil painter became known as the Victorian painter of moonlight.


In the lonely serenade of moonlight mists
Through the stark notes of naked trees
I see the pale lights of our music
Still dancing

The Old Tree

Anne Sudworth (UK) ~ The Old Tree
~

Like some old
Rip Van Winkle
Waking in
A lost world


Tangled beard
Locked in the grip of
Bark chains
But leafy long locks
Free to stretch and
Wave and
Dance
In the glow of a
Moonlight
Chandelier

Peril...

John Atkinson Grimshaw (1836-1893) ~ In Peril
~

Trapped
By seas
Hurling free
At the old wall.
Terror burns to ice.
Mesmerising moonlight
Pale, gaunt and unromantic
Haunts the upturned graveyard of fear
Hypnotising our cold dark wonder


Trapped by seas hurling free at the old wall.

In the melting feelings of light...

Cliff Warner (UK 1961- ) ~ Dancer 2 ~ acrylic
~

In the melting feelings of light
In the sway and swoon of the moment
Camouflaged
Inner music
Breathes
A dramatic
Telepathic
Monologue

First Light

Dmitry Guskov (Moscow, Russia then Scotland in 2000) ~ Light of Creation
~

Remember when Light meant the innocence of purity
Remember when Beauty was simply being
Remember when Creation was like a universal spirit
Breathing stillness on discordant darkness
Remember when Creation was
The First Light

The Cat of Midnight

Dmitry Guskov (Moscow, Russia then Scotland in 2000) ~ Black Cat in a Dark Room
~

In the eyes of midnight
Tremble the fears of darkness
Like mist encrusted laneways
Where the voice of lone feet walking
Laughs
Nervously

Adventurers

Andy Simmons ~ United Kingdom ~ 2007 ~ Adventurers
~

Where the seas warp

And the clouds heave

And the sails wretch the winds

My soul sings ancient songs

Songs I've never heard

~
