Art by Amy L. Burns

Found the most beautiful paintings today. Similar to my style of painting. Checked out the artist's profile and we have a lot in common. Flattering I must say.

Admonition

Those who still support animal cruelty.

If you dissect a bird
To diagram the tongue
You'll cut the chord
Articulating song.

If you flay a beast
To marvel at the mane
You'll wreck the rest
From which the fur began.

If you pluck out the heart
To find what makes it move,
You'll halt the clock
That syncopates our love.

-Sylvia Plath

End Road

deprivation
depression's muse
minds who wander
thoughts of thunder
cold and ruff
nightmares pondered
weak
bleak
time alone
hearts stone
black light
this night
black light
gone is here
have no fear

Winter Trees

The wet dawn inks are doing their blue dissolve.
On their blotter of fog the trees
Seem a botanical drawing.
Memories growing, ring on ring,
A series of weddings.

Knowing neither abortions nor bitchery,
Truer than women,
They seed so effortlessly!
Tasting the winds, that are footless,
Waist-deep in history.

Full of wings, otherworldliness.
In this, they are Ledas.
O mother of leaves and sweetness
Who are these pietas?
The shadows of ringdoves chanting, but chasing nothing.

Sylvia Plath

Au Demain

what is it for?
is it what you want?
your miseries taunt.
your head is filled.
your ideas killed.
where do you go?

look up.
your desires.
your thoughts on fire.
your head is filled.
your ideas revealed.
where do you go?

look north.
challenges aside.
motivation on high.
your head is filled.
your ideas still.
this is what you want.
