Pastel Swirls Of Madness Poem by Ray Sinclair

Pastel Swirls Of Madness



Framed, alone, white vast space —
I first saw you
heard you scream.
On a wooden bridge, forever trapped
beneath blended swirls,
seething blue pastel —
orange, red blended sky.
Disturbed, demented, deranged.
Who are you?
Paranoid, petrified, panic
never ceasing fear— mind runs,
chased by black shadows.
Hands shield ears
Piercing torment comes
within or without?
Pastel figure, I have felt your pain.
I know you.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Edvard Munch: 'I was walking along the road with two friends - the sun was setting - suddenly the sky turned blood red - I paused, feeling exhausted, and leaned on the fence - there was blood and tongues of fire above the blue-black fjord and the city - my friends walked on, and I stood there trembling with anxiety - and I sensed an infinite scream passing through nature.'
