The Epiphany of Artistry

[BLULITER LackofMorality]

I knew nothing of Dali
Painting blue suns
portaits of innocent virgins
and holy guidance in neons and flourescents
family members glowed like Vegas signs
I wasn't yet cognizant of anarchy
scribbling with a furious passion
a mad man's doodle... fighting the tyranny of this dictartor
the straight and narrow.. the guidelines set by the almighty page
i wasn't going against the lines...
they just didn't exist as i colored outside of them
over and through them..with the grace of a crayon
an entire world translucent to my retinas
i knew nothing of the dada
and i was pasting inanimate objects
to designs i drew..slowly learning the power of
destroy to create
entire collages filled with my pride, bottle caps
popsicle sticks, construction paper, scotch tape
and no sense at all
i wasn't schooled in these movements
i hadn't attened a solitary class
yet art jumped from nerve to nerve
it was the quark and neutrino in every synapse
i needed no meditation for this trance
drug inducement couldn't even reach this realm
medocrity's egg had not yet been penetrated
i was king, i was the populace, i was the system
hypocrisy had yet to be born
Some brought tears to a mother's eyes
other's got a sibling ridicule
many got passed off as silly by a father
yet it all all the audience i needed for my gallery
I was the essence of surreal
I was the Genisis and deconstruction of art
I was politics
I was my influence
I was only 5 years old
Will i ever get that back?

I've gotta stop posting in all of your threads damnit! Nah - just kidding - i do feel like i post a lost in your threads though, i guess it's not a bad thing. It's just so nice to read someone's poetry that isn't all flowery and expressing their love for someone, or dismay at being dumped, or whatever... i'm upset wiht myself because i too have fallen into that rut - used to write so powerfully, and now i am reduced to a blithering mess...
Oh well, one must take the ups with the downs, no?
Ps, Props to you for this one - your point has been well made.

i think everyone falls in that rut where you write about being hopeless in love....or the pain/depression after affects of love.
I don't think its a bad thing.. i just think too many people do it. But then again..there are too few things that can make one feel so strongly.
