The Sickle And The Jester
Death has another Hat to Wear….
The Sickle And The Jester
She made him laugh
With her dance and her song
A big red hat worn wrong
She balanced her body on sand
And beckoned him toward her
With the slight of the hand
Her graceful magic consumed by
Passions wry
He let go his life with
Primordial cries
What’s left between them?
Journeyed they..
deep into dusk and sighs
As they both vanished
Into the nights burning skies

“What’s left between them?” Of course the answer is what’s right between them. :)

Oops. I missed the death theme. I personally don’t believe in death. It’s all a_live. My bad. :)

Yet another storyline to write about ..untill Pure Positve Energy consumes all of that and we just Be All.. yep.. but I’m a writer Lee. and well.. I like death being a clown rather than a big scarey guy with a hood.”=}

You’ve moved into a whole new realm of both art and poetry with this Lina, my friend – this is a profoundly moving piece for all its color! Amazing artistry and soul in both! No adjectives are good enough to say how truly good it is!

I think Death dressing as a clown to lure you is scarier than Death himself! Love the blurring strokes in the image to express that deception. It’s scary but I love it for the way you’ve portrayed it and how well you’ve stirred the imagination. They say the scariest images come from the imagination.
