      See, Hear, Nor Speak No Evil

      a painting by Denise Morgan

      One

      A slave to writing

      no breaks without

      mental punishment

      the burden of

      guilt is evident

      See, Hear, Nor Speak No Evil

      a painting by Denise Morgan

      Two

      mentally clinging to

      another dimension

      despising the separation

      loving the awakening

      to smear existing canvas

      See, Hear, Nor Speak No Evil

      a painting by Denise Morgan

      Three

      distant echoes rise-up

      over mountains

      resounding poetic phrases-

      its soul's brilliance so profound

      triggering insanity

      .

      See, Hear, Nor Speak No Evil

      a painting by Denise Morgan

      Four

      madness between

      waking…dreaming-

      the silent heart

      aching for love

      longing the depths

      of eternal slumber

      See, Hear, Nor Speak No Evil

      a painting by Denise Morgan

      Five

      consumed by darkness

      blood-stained, wounded

      internally begging

      for care and crust-

      to shelter in pure sunlight

      See, Hear, Nor Speak No Evil

      a painting by Denise Morgan

      Six

      From dusk
