The first time I met Van Gogh


The first time
Van Gogh and I met
I was starry eyed

Aflamed by his starry night

I danced in his field
Of irises, and never
Knew such hues

A joyous sway of blue

And when I walked
into his cafe nuit
Laughters, secret whispers

Upon a brilliant canvas

A burst of yellow
Captured sunrays
That never fades

The artist creates

A perpetual point of reflection

  3. Oooooh, I so love this. Love Vincent's Starry Night too. The last lines: "The artist creates a perpetual point of recollection" is absolutely stunning.
