This particular artwork, which is signed #10/50 was done by an artist named "Cally". This work was a gift to me from a sheikh in Lebanon back in the early 70's. His name was Kahliel, and he wanted my father to arrange a marriage with me when I was only 12. When my father profoundly rejected his offers of unspoken, magnificient trade, he then asked my father to give me this piece of artwork. I have kept it under protected glass while, off and on I have wondered if there might be some exuberant worth to it!
I am so glad he didn't trade me off, :)
especially, considering my young age and its provocative relevance!
Cerebrate o’er, under hookah screens, wherein sieving wastes, this prowess seems Taints in place of pestilential love, intricate of the brutal lust hereof
Gnash of clams, teeth that grind Projecting tongues dribble of the spotted kind Membered hands, reaching wrists, sense saving swills ay’s, in a liquid abyss
O man on high, forged remembers, with a man-o-war leg and a keyhole center Casts one eye, as the other swirls Luxuria’s trance upon his world
Wanton she peers, her heart’s chesty self Thine eye sees one, as she reflects his wealth Ye can only seethe, in inhered scare to gawk upon them, with their seed filled hair
Pap’s that spew from a Serrasalmus stew, amid the swollen seas of a right breast chew Yea, Eve, who melds from a serpent’s wrath adorned head flowers, long ejaculating shafts
Lo, a flightless bird flaunts its flatulence, spaced on taloned foot, grasps in accidence A dashing young man, the little grape whether’s, the dollar sign eye reveals its colon feathers
Still in posing with her portioned fruit, a singled mesh conceals her labial mute Having with the strings of these gasbag maws, exposing, she toys with his burning balls
O hearts, O diamonds, O spades with clubs, wreaths of the olive branch, profusion’s snub In all hands high, amounting nil, Ye Adam’s apple's bit, the blood doth spill
woot, woot...that's a wild ride to read and "ouch" - I'm glad you didn't get traded cuz you'd be writing in Lebanese and we'd miss all your great expression!
Your view of thought is one that brings on the depth of which poetry can find its place among the visions and the memories of past...from present days and back upon the simplest of turns of fate you display a turn of events encased....
exceptional display of poem....nice.....Art Sun...
Kimmy, I'm speechless... and basking in the most gigantic wave of delight! "Still in posing with her portioned fruit,
a singled mesh conceals her labial mute
Having with the strings of these gasbag maws,
exposing, she toys with his burning balls"... LOL! - this is satyrical poetry of the highest quality, and you, dear Lady, are THE amazing Masterpiece!

To savor this complete package of artistic beauty was quite a treat for me.
This poetry I would consider a production to say the least~enjoyed every twist and turn you and this poem took!
Many, many imageries were conjured in my mind while reading and afterwards, surely seemed the character was the victor.~Spell casting it seemed.
Thank you for sharing this work and the attached story~awesome.

Kimmy first I have to say I love the artwork it is outstanding. I think the poem is very fitting, and expresses what could be an artist's description.

Beautiful piece of poetry and art. This one has to be rolled on the tongue and swirled in the mind to savor every flavor. I'm enthralled with your poetry.
Great imagery accompanies this arework and I cannot begin to fathom what a 12 year old would feel being given in marriage. Very frightening sounding.
George
Very itense images depicting your vision of not only the painting but of the fear that must have accompanied the offer of a 12 year old to be traded in a marraige, even knowing your father would not do so it must still have been an eye opening experience for sure.

Kimmy this is extrodinary work; both your poem and this art! Fabulous my dear. Love Holly
Wow Kimmy, stunning artwork, that no doubt has a history and value attached...your write is a wonderful piece of art in itself! The history behind the print is a wonderful story! I agree with the others, glad you didn't get married of at twelve, but what a story you've got here! Enjoyed the story behind the print, enjoyed the print, and the powem as well! Hat's off to you my friend!

I would think there would be some value to this work of art that might surprise you. Since you have the artists name, I would have it appraised. I have seen such pieces of art go for sixty to seventy thousand dollars. With art the sky is the limit. Nice poem also.
This is pretty much some goo old-fashioned poetry. Lot of music in this one.

Oh Kimmy what a story and the art is fascinating I would keep it under glass too. Your poem is exzcellent. 12 is so young but for them in those countries that may be old. Wonderful job.
Kimmy, this is an exceptional work. It's very sensual, raw, and a vivid and visual writing -- it goes very well with the artwork above. I'm with Lynn ... I'm glad you weren't married off at twelve to that dirty old man!!
Love,

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
Questions, unquestioned discoveries, and answers in parable and rhyme…. This collection records a journey starting with a 1960s retrospective and the first man on the moon, moving to a new millennium welcomed in with a terrorist spin, family crises,
The songs and art in this book are about our collective emergence after the pandemic and trauma of the last few years - comprised of 5 collections: World as Refuge, Where We Live, In Our Hands, Rhythms of Change and What We See & Sow.

This is one I've got to run through my printer. "Prowess of The Fall" has got to be seen to be believed.
You are a unique gift to us all. And I'm not goin' away, baby. I think there's more still to come.
Love ya for being you!
