Quote Of The Day


"The artist, the true artist, the true poet, should paint according to what he sees and feels only. He should really be faithful to his own nature"

Hal Asmar - Brown Skin


Brown skin
The brown skinned man
You made my heart sick
By falling into your love

With your big wild eyes 
You let my heart in pain
I would give you seven quarters
Of all I have

O, silver hearted man
Why do you turn away from me
I would give you all I have
To have you satisfied

The Lady And The Dragonfly



She was a lady
That found a Dragonfly

She admired one day 
Marveled at it's flight 
Wondered at it's colors 
Thought it must have a sort of might 
It sat on a stream without others 
Marveled that alone it lived each day and night
Then it flew away 
Almost like a dream 
And the lady went about her walk 
Realising the Dragonfly watched it seemed 
When she tried to it to talk.

She a lady, that found a Dragonfly.
