If you have ever been to south Texas and visited San Marcus and the San Marcus River, you will relate to the beauty I speak of in this writing. There is a love for Texas and a love for the river down there that has always inspired me. It is a magical place (I call it the magic kingdom) where my love was kindled for the “real” Texas.
San Marcus Sky
The moon shining down in the San Marcus sky
brings a smile to my face and I’m not sure why
it seems brighter here
smells like perfume in the air
This is the land where dreams are awakened
where the sun melts the sky and the moon’s light is shaken
rivers of teal flanked by green-soaked rocks
where a a man and a woman hold their hearts
lost in talk
San Marcus sky on a Persian blue rug
you hold my heart in your land of love

L'amour et Psyche by Francois Edouard Picot, 1817, tells the story of Cupid and Psyche. In the Greek mythological story, Cupid would leave every morning before Psyche woke from her sleep. Psyche's outstretched arm shows the space where Cupid would have been sleeping, however he leaves her in the morning. A great depiction of the complexities of love, status and family. "The angel looks back at the sleeping beauty with a goodbye glance– the older cupid teaching us that love, if anything, is fleeting, and you never know when you’ll wake up and your arm will be outstretched around nothing."
