Old Paintings

Here are some of my old paintings, some have sold, some are on my walls.

Dear Venus

What tricks you display,
returning innocence to an adult
so they can play,
like a dog chasing its tail
a lover worships desire,
imagines tears of sadness,
to put out its fire.
Foolish are those who see an oasis in a desert,
but dreams are often much more real than the present.
Show yourself, unmask your glory.
Are you real? Or an ancient story?

Wisdom seekers all around the world,
do not have the answers to the questions proposed.
But you, hidden behind a thousand gates,
patiently wait with the secret enclosed.
