FANTASIA
By Peter Schwarz

 

Art begins when life is not enough
         ~Osvaldo Romberg

 

Dislodged from the facade of order: art is a disruption leading to an interlude breaking through the spaces of life: this new territory of silent gestures exchanged in the privacy of a room: a form of flesh, the desires of the mind: speak this language: flirting and teasing on the edge of an expression's turn: the figure poised after the encounter: captured in this fervor:greater than all human passions recorded in the myths of history: is a return to an origin: the destination: expression is how: the wounded speak: their bodies of tales: translated: dreams: cross currents, surrendered to this: rapture leads the fantasy revealed: spirit of the world's charms: offering: narcotic visions towards a woman shaped on the palette: torn into shades of colors: flourishing with the rhythm of hands: touching: the canvas, body dissipates into another: one: luring the other closer: gaze meeting gaze across a distance: reemerging: awakened: where is the passage: to: the future: alone among the perfume of oils: seeping, infusing: the absence of a dream present: fables as candles burn: glowing in the night's: heart
