The boom of thunder,
a flash of light,
Winter storms
will take delight,
as the loud noise,
creates a fright
and inside we stay,
through day and night.

Amedeo Clemente Modigliani (1884 – 1920)  Italian painter and sculptor known for portraits and nudes in a modern style characterized by a surreal elongation of faces, necks, and figures that were not received well during his lifetime, but later became much sought-after. Modigliani spent his youth in Italy, and moved to Paris in 1906, where he came into contact with such artists as Pablo Picasso and Constantin Brâncuși. Read more

Break away,
you beautiful one.
Leave me now,
my time is done.

Love was here,
now it's gone.
The words ring,
on and on.

At the end of the rainbow,
where dreams go to die,
it's not the pot of gold,
as fables infer or imply.
A place, a graveyard to show,
ideas, love, thoughts which vie
for resurrection or rebirth of life,
if you are willing to try.
