A Beautiful Madness
for Van Gogh
It is true that my only real universe
is the certifiable one
that lives inside my mind
but I still have space
space for possibility
the possibility to think and reflect
and to paint
madness, being my best friend
when he knocks on my door
I welcome him in, gladly
we paint
we paint
almost as if
my heart be in my hand
we spread the joy
through tears of disgust and loneliness
together, eyes closed
brushing our next masterpiece
who cares if anybody likes it?
it’s mine, hell it’s ours?
and I shall find a place for it
maybe madness wants to take it home?
placing it on his own mantelpiece?
I admit, I miss him dearly
when he has to leave
never knowing if he’ll ever return?
but, he always does
and for today
i’m truly satisfied
with what we have achieved
this…
a beautiful madness.

Shirley I really like the way you have written this as if from inside the mind of Van Goch himself. A really clever and imaginative write which I absolutely enjoyed reading x
Thank you dear Marion, so lovely to see you. 🌹
I did not realize you wrote this about Van Gogh. I actually thought you were creating from your own universe. This is something I absolutely relate to.
Hello dear Greg, I'm sure millions can relate too this, it's hard work being alive especially when we feel such passion and artistic value wrapped up inside us. I'm so pleased you can relate I can too. Thank you so much for coming by to tell me. It's a magic world we have to drive our own cars on our own roads in which ever way may suit us... 🌹
Oh how I love this!
I've had a life long love of the man, his art, his resilience, courage, his passion and genius. Thanks for this perfect moment!
