Early
Port
Searching
for images in the past
of
places that never were.
Well
they were,
and
they weren’t,
not
as they were.
It
is deciding now,
how
they will look.
A
search with
undecided
lines
still
wavering.
The
curse
of
seeing into the past
of
a place
that
never was.

I really like the drawing [better than the poem] [which was also awesome] how long have you been drawing?
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting, and liking my drawing (better then my poem)☺ the drawings find themselves, always have. Words have always been more of a struggle.
DeleteI have been drawing since childhood, with a long void after college when my drawings were mostly related to architecture. Seven years ago I went back to doing drawing of things I drew as a child, but adding the drawing of living people to the list.
Like your sketches of faces..
I see the boat at foreground...maybe it's beginning of journey ...in the past life....
ReplyDeleteWorking boats, old schooners, the reason for an early port. I’m sure the journey back then required more purpose, less a beginning, more a continuum.
DeleteOh gosh I love it, and the poetry says it all, I can feel your drawing, in every facets of your sketch, it is truly a treasure, new, old, true, false, matters not to me, there right there i can escape for a while, thank you Anthony
ReplyDeleteTo see so much in these sketches is truly appreciated. I’m almost to a place where I can spend more time with dedicated sketches of the islands..
DeleteThank you
and the writing is exquisite....
ReplyDeleteEmerging shapes out of the criss-crossing lines, lovely work ,Tony.
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteI really enjoyed your poem, Anthony as well as the sketch.
ReplyDeleteWonderful as always
Thank you!
Thank you so much.
DeleteThere is a wonderful hideaway here...hidden in the reeds...a place accessible only through the deepest recesses of the imagination.
ReplyDeleteI would love to find this place someday...to lift the curse of linear time...
Happy Sunday! :)
I’m trying to find this place too. I’ve seen the bay where there once was a port long ago. It’s time, I agree time is a major obstacle to overcome. Some time imagination just isn’t enough.
DeleteWonderful drawing I really like it !!!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day Anthony !!!
