Milan Van Zuyen Poems

Art is life projected
With this canvas held dead centre
As life is fully reflected
On flesh that may long remember
...

She danced with Death
A beat, a breath
Her soul in his palm
Still, she remained calm
...

An hourglass with golden sand
A meadow in a barren land
Sitting sentinel for all to see
Alone and lost, in the mist is me
...

Puff puff on the shimmering bit
A cloud of thick fragrant smoke
I ponder the life's mysteries as i sit
Even as I imbibe a hearty toke
...

Sunsets and daffodils
A sea of golden bliss
White lace and fancy frills
A stollen kiss
...

I look down upon this city
Like a many facetted jewel
Countless tiny suns dance in abstract glory
I stand on the knifes edge
...

Standing in the open field
Watching the roiling black fury of sky
Come harrowing ever closer without yield
As brilliant lightning flashes by and by
...

I drift but slow on a fog of dream
But then my feet, beneath me sand
Thou fog hast wrapt me in t'would seem
Adrift in this hollow, foresaken land
...

Oh Dragon's soul, that breathes the flame
Always twisting, learning, and new
Passionate yet conceited, you seek not fame
While strange, pretty baubles you pursue
...

Coy, quirky, and clever
Oh magnificent you
With snake heads to sever
And many vermin to pursue
...

Milan Van Zuyen Biography

My parents were kind of hippies when they had me and thought it would be wicked cool to walk across the U.S while pregnant with me. They thankfully stopped in Boulder CO to rent a room and have me-and later my lil bro. But eventually they split-up and my mom moved us to be raised in KY where she intiated and incouraged my innate love affair with literature. She also bolstered my impeccable grammer and tempered my insatiable hunger to constantly develope my vocabulary. I came to realize that I also had an affinity for poetry and this was but another venue for my great passion and lifelong aspiration to someday get my works published...regardless of any notion of fame or notability. And via this magnificent and blessed site I am finally taking steps-albeit humble ones- to actualizing my heart's fondest wish and finally accomplishing my lifelong goal! In a simple context, granted but its out there all the same! ! ! XD i might cry for joy!)

The Best Poem Of Milan Van Zuyen

A Canvas For Van Gogh

Art is life projected
With this canvas held dead centre
As life is fully reflected
On flesh that may long remember

The ultimate canvas, is ones own skin
Where is painted the portrait of ones life
Beauty by the marring of flesh herein
Being by strokes of chance, ink, or knife

And each mark will tell a tale
Of some moment caught therein
With daring adventures to regale
Where whence thou story doth begin

Be it now when death is near
Still aye, my marks do me proud
As I have lived truly, I know no fear
Welcoming Grimm, in my best shroud
