Newest painting #2

painting above mirror
say to me what you will
i know your name is
inconsistent to me
blue eyes mean past
life- leave,
me alone.
give up on 
tempestuous
mistakes
soft lips wait for you.
done.  now.  soft green
smile
tomorrow
brings you 
golden sunrise.


i don't trust you
painting.  your environment
speaks not truth.  shining doorway
deflecting light is not a good sign.
take me to the threshold but spare me
your answers.

the golden apple on the snowy table leveling the view of the city.

It always comes back to Russia with you :) I like that. I'm probably related to some Russian artists. I have some of that in my blood and it is from the creative side of the family.
