blue ramble
my heart lives
behind a blue door
in the brick
orphanage
next to the chapterhouse in
the oldest part of
the city
the last of the gems
left by the
mad queen who
who died raving about masks
and elaborate
betrayals
when they came
to plunder
her silver
i hid in the murky light
under the staircase
waiting for
redemption or death
unnoticed
i was left
behind and have never left
so i sit and wait
behind the
door with a heart blue
as the blood
flowing through my ancient veins
for i'm the queen of
broken hearts
in a brick palace
with my face
in a jar
old queen eleanor waiting
by the dark blue door

Love your voicing the blue door’s surrounding events and bit of history. The lighting lures me always. F/L
RC DeWinter replied:
Most kind, thank you, and yes, the poem is odd...I thought a good contrast to the realism of the painting.

Marvelous door, and amazing and beautifully done detail Gina. I love the light and shadows and love the tones. And the crack in the bricks is wonderful. And wow, the poem... I love the story and mystery and am fascinated by the idea that she's there still... Who knows what lurks and lives behind closed doors. Brilliant and intriguing and beautifully written. l/f!
RC DeWinter replied:
LOL...back to realism for this one in the art, but certainly not in the poetry. Many thanks for the kind words.
