Good Foundations





Good Foundations 
Painting by Fondazione Gorgio e Isa de Chirico

Together we merge, entwine,
Solid outside but combined,
Memories selected,
filed,
Our history,
Our love to others an intriguing mystery! 


Our foundations built throughout our years,  
The laughs the smiles,
  Sometimes the tears, 
Locked in our contemplation vaults. 
Though love and happiness, 
Always our assault! 

So within our bubble of  man-made society
On our foundations
 of, 
Love and our history,
 It shapes how we've merged.
It Becomes our priority 
For what we have created 
Makes us a minority!

  8. There's good vibrations in your Good Foundations. Like the skeleton that holds up the soft flesh, a loving couple's history together solidifies their union.

  13. Hi

    Love the direction you took this one in.
    You imposed a credible narrative with surreal and interesting undertones and layers.

    Locked in our contemplation vaults - this is a fantastic line

  14. We are all, most definitely, interconnected and entwined in a myriad of ways. Such is humanity. I agree with your line "memories selected" for that is what we do...select what we want to remember and burying those memories we would rather forget.
