To Vincent... who will never know <br />The love I feel and cannot show <br />Of kaleidoscopes on linen snow <br /> <br />To Vincent... shaded as a fool <br />Whose isolation fractured rules <br />With genius crowned delusional <br /> <br />To Vincent... socially denied <br />Whose brilliance is immortalized <br />By majesty viewed through his eyes <br /> <br />To Vincent... dubbed an albatross <br />Who dwelled in dreams of splendor lost <br />Whose vision held a fatal cost <br /> <br />To Vincent... bathed in spectral light <br />Whose palette moved him to vast heights <br />Whose epic is A Starry Night <br /> <br /> <br />© 1986 JVD<br /><br />Jane Van Doe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-vincent-van-gogh-vincent-van-gogh/
