horizon, her rising, her eyes on
meeting me halfway between
heaven and earth, where breath
comes in gasps, color on canvas
we paint with our fingers, linger
not too long or too little, just
enough to hear the music, two
hearts make, sync-o-pate-ing rhythm
wind blows, windows, inside sighs
smooth, textured, love is...art.

The painting above (Love Force #5) was created by an incredible artist I met on a recent trip to Asheville, NC. His name is Jonas Gerard. Among other things he does performance painting, which is a feast for the senses. Tomorrow at One Stop Poetry, you can see more of his works and maybe even write your own poetic interpretation.
You can find Jonas Gerard at www.jonasgerard.com.

There's only one word for your art and words... they're beautiful.
As I am sue I have said often before : nobody does this kind of thing better than you Brian.
Ah - sensual and beautiful!
Something IS in the water this morning! Must be Love potion # 9
Love the colors in the art and in your words. And you are correct ~ love is art. Happy Weekend !
passionate and yet tender. lovely Brian.
Is "sync-o-pate-ing" one word or four? (LOL!) Nice 55, Brian!
And you are one fine artist.
oh wow! I love the painting. and your poem is just so wonderful as always Brian! have a wonderful we!!
Beautiful painting, beautiful words. Visiting his gallery was definitely one of the highlights from our trip to Asheville! (Would love to have one of these hanging in our home.) ;)
you are so incredible. HONESTLY.
wow.
A feast for the senses, your imagery is amazing, pulling the depths of touch, smell, sight into and highlighting a stunning painting.
truly romantic
poem
Wonderful write, Brian~! And what an artist you have featured today on Friday Poetically...You guys just rock!!! (Yes...I am a cheeseball and quite proud of it!)
Your poem captures the emotional power of the painting perfectly: textured vibrancy!
Painting and words are perfect for each other, wow
Very beautiful.
I feel slightly inadequate... all I did was write haiku about being sick.
Going back to bed now.
Thanks for another Friday 55!
Mine's here. :)
"Love is...art" - it is and this is a beautiful 55, Brian.
Love is art - and you paint such a beautiful picture of it Brian. :)
Heaven knows how you can put so much emotion and feeling into just 55 words. Wonderful.
Have a great weekend!
So beautiful and such a wonderful description of it all. What a lovely romantic 55. It makes my heart go pitter patter. The perfect Valentine poem.
wow..lovely words.Nice 55
Whoa. Could not take my eyes off that painting. So vibrant and intense. That's some good writing too, Brian. :)
I agree with the others...power in the art and in the words.
Whoa! Quite a love poem you have fashioned from this painting....
And finger painting??/ That is something that was lurking in the back of my mind, but you brought it forward.
Great poem, Brian.

I loved the play on words in this piece, the images dancing around in my mind.
Your imagery is amazing...I enjoyed this :)
An excellent poem.
what a beautiful way to describe the horizon..
-Sy
gasp! how beautiful!! love the sync-o-pate-ing rhythm...
have to jump over to read your post over at one stop - is this from this gallery you said...breath-taking indeed
I love both, the painting and your 55. The color red is such a play for the senses and I like that your 55 gives the picture movement. Have an awesome weekend...
Both the picture and your poem are breathtaking. Just delightful.
I love the match of feeling in the words and the picture. Excellent choice.
Beautiful.. I am so on my way to visit Jonas.....
Great piece of art - your poem and Jonas's painting.
I really like his paintings. Abstracts are my favorite!
Beautiful...all aspects!
Love the love and the art!
All the red in the painting makes it that much more passionate. Beautiful.
you're a technical master, brian. love this.
Absolutely beautiful, Brian!
don't DO this, you are too good for me.
Because of that I cannot find the words to say how much I love your poetry.
Wow and brilliant and awesome mean nothing here.
So romantic!
Yes, it is, and art is love. Thanks Brian
Love is the most beautiful art!
Your writing is amazing!
Nice! You smooth talker you. ;)
I couldn't imagine a more beautiful piece of artwork to go with words that must have fallen from Heaven itself...
Love is an artform with all too few artists, in my experience...sounds like your project however, is doing well.
Very beautiful artwork! I love performance art. And your words are lovely as well. But that's a given. :o)
Another beauty from the most romantic man on the internet. ;)
I hear the waves of emotions coming home to shore, riding the crest and plummeting the depths.
And settle into a gentle existance.
is it just me or is getting hot in here? what a sexy poem!!! lovely painting as well! (btw - you owe me a sketch!! lol) - have a nice weekend!!
ah...
I don't know how you are so prolific and brilliant.
that painting is gorgeous. I love the colours.
Hi! Brian...
Being an artist...I must admit the more that I read your poem the more that I connected with your story. (poem)
Brian,
Thanks, for the links and I hope that you, and your family have a nice-weekend too!
DeeDee ;-D
Oops! After reading the previous comment...I had to return and comment on artist Jonas Gerard's painting.
The colours are vibrant and his painting that you, present here is very beautiful and the painting is abstract. (After visiting his website...I can see that he works in/or with different mediums too.)
Thanks, for sharing!
The way you say it, yes, love is art. Lovely writing. Tender, sweet.
it reads/feels like a creative seduction ritual :D
I love painting with my fingers!
I wrote something but haven't posted it
mainly because I really wasn't sure how to give credit /links you put it up on a different site-? Yes I'm dyslexic, I get confused...maybe I can just make it a 55-
Thanks.
"love is...art" Art is...love, also!
Painting is...awesome!
Awesome is...painting!
Truely wonderful the words and the painting!Well done to Artists!:)
I love every word. This, my language...
And a powerfully stunning piece of art by Jonas Gerard.
Beautiful collaboration that speaks deeply to the artist in me.
