You Know What They Say,Singleton, 2007 outsider art

You Know What They Say
(c) Singleton 2007
SOLD

I believe in
yellow butterflies
and little white lies
buried
in truths.

I believe
sidewalks cracked
are rivers wide
and waiting,
and tomorrow
is just another
fairytale,
another
quarter in the jukebox.

I believe if
you take my hand
I'll runaway

with you
or from you,
it doesn't really matter....

  1. Passion, belief, love,

    Flowing from every word,
    every brush stroke.

    You are awesome! in the truest sense of the word...

    Your work flows from the heart of life itself. And fills the cupped hands of weary souls with whispered joy.

    Love and light to you dear friend,

    M

  2. I'd love to wait for midnight hand in hand with her. =D

    The key dangling, the cracked glass filled, the triple crown on her sweet red black hair--and your creative use of flowers! Her eyes are as beautiful as any summer night spent in love's presence.

    And the poem... You know...

    The truth flutters on wings
    that look like golden leaves,
    tickle like excited fingers
    like a joke with purple words
    like her hair in my face
    as we pitch and roll
    during restless nights
    double storms of passion
    in the air we breath together
    in this darkened room
    under these light sheets
    in and out the heart's tempo
    the words, truths and lies
    in our brown eyes begotten
    by the light of desire--
    and the flutter of wings
    means not a sigh of goodbye
    but good morning, good night;
    the truth has golden wings
    like the leaves of autumn
    and lies between the lines
    mean nothing more to us
    than another gilded excuse
    to spend a long summer night
    under cover, incognito
    lights out as the fire
    is just starting to burn.

  5. No....I hope it is, sweet friend....
    This is where I come for Peace, to make peace,
    to take a zillion gazillion
    moments
    even wrecked
    and build
    castles from the
    chaos,
    this where I come to breathe...
    to tell the stories
    that can't be told in
    black and white
    because there are no
    words big enough
    or the truth is forbidden....
    this is where
    I runaway to....

    Wishing you peace, my friend,
    and healing

    love grows
