These are a series of poems about the triumphs and tragedies of Vincent Van Gogh. May he rest in peace.
An Artist
Beauty.
Pain.
Suffering in vain.
Van Gogh loved, he laughed,
But insanity was his epitaph;
But stubbornly he stuck to his spiritual path--
Triumphing in victory,
By being made immortal in history.
Sunflowers Part I
Bathed in delight,
Enveloped in the light,
I gasp, I sigh,
Never have I
Seen such beauty!
Sunflowers Part II
Bright colours galore
Art you can't ignore!
The yellow of the sun--
Not to be outdone.
People gather, people stare
Caught in the air
Of genius.
Sunflowers Part III
Beauty
Grace
Shining in the viewer's face
The peace and hospitality
Despite all the tragedy
Painting for him was a release
When hardships never ceased
Finding that ray of light
Beauty never out of sight,
A brilliant mind
Art history can't deny is genius,
Being an artistic tactician--
Fulfilling his creative mission.
Van Gogh
His paintings so tranquil
His colours so dear
His insanity hiding underneath the veneer.
He enjoyed life
Despite all his strife
And had a heart of gold
With so many stories that had to be told.
Theo
Love supreme.
Supporting a dream.
Heart unconditional.
Actions unforgettable.
Giving and kind.
Instrumental to humankind.
Inspired and devoted
A brother whose faith is forever noted.
