PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

the closest thing to Heaven

at the hands of a truly most decided Hell

must be the viewing of the fondest beauty

while wrapped in deep feelings of hopeless

submerged beneath the indifferent shrug of

one's wearily slumped shoulders

bewildered yet awed beyond belief

I whispered an astonished

Oh well!

that's what seeing Van Gogh's paintings

did to me..............
