Who does grass
more justice than him
We all casually think
they are green
Under Vincent’s brush
they are fireworks
hidden in plain shells
In vibrant hues
and starbursts
we are awestruck
by his aesthetic launch

I Run to You
I have never met you,
and yet you know me.
I can’t help but move closer.
I have spent all my life
to build this facade
for the world to see.
How come you see my anima?
My inner child runs to you.
Do I know you?
Why do you feel like home to me?
I love you!

Cause and Effect
Why did you deny my talents
I once believed I was a nobody
trapped in my own sanity
Why did you lie about my characters
I was despised by my inner circle
to be an unforgiven failure
Why did you steal my peace
I was terrorised by your pure presence
and poisoned by your every word
Why did you betray your flesh and blood
I was entrusted to your care and protection
in a world that was already cold
Why did you twist a knife in my core belief
I looked into the mirror and saw a shattered self
distorted by your snare
“Hurting people hurt people”

Sanctuary
This used to be our secret place
Where the still water stirred by our rosy kisses
Frantic hands hidden in the bush laden inlet
Sacred kingfishers were jealous of our playfulness
Darting through the green and grey branches
Pied cormorants were watchful of the riverbank
The green and blue river rippled perfect reflection of their orbs
We sailed our little yacht along the stretched yellow mangrove
Left our sanctuary behind in the tangerine sunset

Romeo and Juliet
This is a poetry and painting collaboration with emerging Sydney Painter Virginia Bucknell
Love
demands absolute devotion
The stage
decorated with charisma and wit
Wild possession
seized by concealed undercurrent
Passion
let it downpour in crimson
Death
gravitates towards eternity
