Under the mirrored hall
Champagne sparkles like rain
Wolves eyes entice
Melting the sheep’s hearts like ice
Staring out to the city
Smoke escapes the painter’s mouth
Snow falls like confetti
From the skyscrapers above
Colourful darts explode onto his canvas
Slashing away memories
With the knife of his paint brush
Tearing out of his painting
The bird breaks away
Flying above monochrome skies and icy lakes
To shine in it’s truth
For the rest of it’s days.
Painting by Robert Ioan. Poem by Jeremy Warder 2019.
