Yellow door, John Lyons (40 x 40 cm, oil on canvas)
Hope in doors
hope in gates
a yellow door
in a sea of blue
soft light of the sun
reverberating
on the surface
all paths lead
to her heart
on both sides
hearts depart
a single plane
a single hope
a single key
key to her heart
John Lyons
Blue door, John Lyons (40 x 40 cm, oil on canvas)
If I told you
If I told
If I told you
would you like it
would you ?
A play not on words
but a play in words
In space words
In time words
If I found them
my feelings
If I found them
and if I told you
If I told
would you like it
would you ?
Played out
in rooms
sitting
dining
bed and
bathroom
One door leads
to another
and another
and another
all our lives
windows and doors
One door
on either side
entrance and exit
coming and going
first to last
If I told you
If I told
If I told you
would you like it
would you ?
John Lyons
