Description
Vincent's Convulsions.
In a duel with Time
the artist stepped through
miscreants, slashed out legacies
of beauty, of fiery light,
apparitions of navel colours
Wheatfields suddenly rise
rhythmic like seas
Cafes to invite the night
Mad Irises and madder stars
his consciousness exploding
forth beyond his sunflower grave
a century later crows make us
seem nightmarishly dim
make us listen with pause
to a divine ear
brilliantly tuned in
to this world unturned
a world never before expressed
We imagine the mystic for whom
the spiritual Imagination
carries sailboats into seascapes
astonishes, tremors sensations
memories of larks and gardens
white roses, harvests, asylums
straw houses, walls of Haphephobia
purple-faced churches beating blue
wonder in ruins of empires
build heart's pressures, birth
the intraocular musician
enrage great provocations
of colours dangerous,
visions brave, risking
Truths unspoken by coffins
buried by past painters of death
Written by fevered eyes
of his seeing canvases
Beauty stalking Suns and stars
all spectrums impassioned
impulses visually sounding
Pure
by the disease, light and dark
extremities found natural
Life is the crises of being
as a bruised Universe suffers
supersedes 'reality' and all
its many sensory forms
of mirrorism, blanks of realism
Instead, van Gogh waged a war
for the soul of everything
uncounted, whispered or screamed
into the wilderness undisturbed
Depths of faces unexplored
till the emotions of his portraits
possessed their true expressions
beyond paints, beyond language
writhing Cypresses, inescapable
reaching for those lunatic skies
Forces
that lay in wait for us all
Thoroughly perilous conversations
We're meant to hear.
