Artistic Murals By Tamara Gerkin Presents:

The Late

Dr. Vince Deabler, Poetry 

My Friend the Vampire Author & Poet extraordinaire...

Imagine a raisin

placed in your hand,

a gift for you.

 

You stare at the image,

seeing its barrenness,

and yet,

the clefts and ridges

draw you in.

 

Moonlike, it reflects

the light.

Iridescent!

like a peacock feather,

sparkling.

 

You feel its weight

touch it with a finger.

It resists your touch

a rainbow of fissures.

 

It fondles your lips,

odors redolent of wine

and earth.

Sends you to valleys,

then, gently, back.

 

Tasting, gently at first

the tongue exploring

then a dental teasing,

gently, softly.

 

Biting, flavors

overwhelming

then, gently, back

to its image.

" CONVERSATION WITH AN ARTIST "

From infancy,

pencil in hand.

Scribbling, drawing

trying to make sense.

 

Drawing Mommies,

Daddies, trees.

gaining nourishment,

growing.

 

No sense to it,

just a striving.

 

Yet, for some

it never leaves.

Developing lives

friends, lovers

compulsions

obsessions......

cannot deny

the depression within.

 

The need to become,

to be heroic,

can only be fed

by creativity.

 

The artist in oneself

that barren place,

undefended.

bursts, demands, implores.

 

Our meager tools

are honed;

we slash through

reality, trying to

understand

what lies beyond.

 

It must be wondrous

to be God blessed.

A true artist, who,

for just that moment

has triumphed!

Yet wanders on.

" AWAKENING "

Light streams,

a second, restful.

 

The engine starts,

thoughts, incessant.

 

Her face,

smiling, radiant.

 

Death appears,

with will, repelled.

 

Computer on,

messages, alerts.

 

None from her,

death appears.

 

As loneliness,

invades, saddens.

 

Poetry, art,

salvation, solace.

" AT THE BEACH "


The sand is cooling,

sun has bid Adieu.

Like voyeurs

we lie on our blanket,

watching the night sky

dressing in diamond raiment.

 

The moon is quarter full;

winds have opened

the curtain of clouds.

 

Ah! The throne of Nut!

Egyptian Goddess

who swallows the Sun-God Ra

each dusk,

to give birth to Him

at eve's end.

 

I feel your breath on my neck,

warming, caressing.

I open your eyes with a kiss,

traveling past the stars

into your soul,

marveling at the wonder

it arouses.

AUTUMN

Each morn

a minute later,

the sun arises

over the river.

 

Each dawn

a degree south,

on its journey

to the Equator.

 

Canada geese arrive

following the sun;

disciplined V`s

collapse and rest.

 

Bees and wasps

flitting lazily,

the sun signaling

the end of struggle.

 

Leaves depart,

depending on the kindness

of strangers,

for their blaze of glory.

 

Autumn, inexorable,

cloaks its arrival

in glorious colors,

soon to be blanched

by winters snow.

A  P O E M

Ever see

at second glance,

something so perfect

it spins you back

to happiness?

 

In Vermont,

the loons are quieting,

stars impatiently await

the darkness of their stage.

 

Transported,

I feel your breath

warming me.
