Thin Skin
These ancient eyes pierce the thin skin
Flimsy veneer of civilization and certainty
Which conceals mandelbrot infinities of detail
Ocular illusory visions sweep across untouchable horizons
Tapestries of universes
Wrapped in rough weave
Warps and threads of endless multitude
And dream defying design
Heady intoxication of senses
Emotions and passions vice-like
Yet ephemeral uncounted incidents in time and space
Wave riders of a tsunami of motion, colour and sound
Lifetimes of wondrous mystery
Eternal puzzles sauteed in delectable complexity
Yet poor fare for the un satiated and unquenchable mind
All things brought plummeting to earth from Himalayan heights
Caught in crude nets of words and an inadequate prison of thought
Suffocated victims of comprehension and conception
Breathtaking vistas of beauty and dark pits of the grotesque
Splashed across a thousand bright, cold unfinished canvases
Incomplete artist standing awestruck before the splendour and terror
Psigh – this is absolutely the most wonderful thing I’ve read for years. Well done! x
