Naisaiku Cutouts

Can we truly trust our own eyes? Sometimes, what appears to be the work of a master may actually be a masterful deception.

Mr. and Mrs. Andrews

Guess Who’s Peeking Through

Sunshine or moonshine,

A pair of faces appears.

Images deceive.

GUESS WHO’S PEEKING THROUGH.

Images deceive.

A pair of faces appears.

Sunshine or moonshine.

Onlookers decide,

Putting dampers on drollness,

Choosing what to see.

Pour My Soul on Paper –

A NaisaiKu Invitation

Images fall forth,

Concepts clash behind the eyes.

What comes after that?

POUR MY SOUL ON PAPER.

What comes after that?

Concepts clash behind the eyes.

Images fall forth.

Dreaming trumps reason.

His purpose propels my pen,

Like live water spilled.

POUR MY SOUL ON PAPER.

Like live water spilled,

His purpose propels my pen.

Dreaming trumps reason.

Hide the blunt scissors.

Cast aside the pen of red.

Confuse and confound.

POUR MY SOUL ON PAPER.

Confuse and confound.

Cast aside the pen of red.

Hide the blunt scissors.

Transported afar,

Take a road trip of the mind,

Vital, though scary.

POUR MY SOUL ON PAPER.

Vital, though scary,

Take a road trip of the mind,

Transported afar.
