His heart groaned At her presence Slow, electric fire Coming back from numb A slept-on hand Not fully awakened, too pins-and-needles raw to savvy a difference, between slap and tickle, clutch and caress. http://www.instagram.com/dbwii #pinsandneedles #numb #slapandtickle #asleep #napkindiaries #napkin #napkinart #instagrampoets #IGPoets #igpoetry #quotes #poetryporn #InkBleed #igwriters #poem #indiepoets #words #instagramwriters #igwritingcommunity #poetry #poetsofig #poetssociety #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #sapiosexual

The taste of tears on her lips was like the first hit of whatever; and like the second; Electric, shameful, Impossible to resist. http://www.instagram.com/dbwii #tears #addiction #napkindiaries #napkin #napkinart #instagrampoets #IGPoets #igpoetry #quotes #poetryporn #InkBleed #igwriters #poem #indiepoets #words #instagramwriters #igwritingcommunity #poetry #poetsofig #poetssociety #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #sapiosexual

 can finally get married

When will the US Government

 Stop Discriminating

  Against Single People?

We want tax breaks too!

We want to get to choose

 who sits by our bedside

  when we’re dying.

Do you know Art takes

 to create these days

  when every-think

   has been thunk or said

even if It,

 to you, is new

  and even if It,

   just popped in your head?

Post it, paste it, paint it quick!

 as Baruch and Geisel

  and now, I patter:

“The people that matter

   don’t mind

    and the people that mind

     don’t matter.”

“Yes,” you said, “that armor is cunning,    and kept you safe in War.

Now, lay it down,   come swim in our bed,    you’ll need your armor no more”

Daniel Merriam’s Watercolors of Extravagant, Whimsical Worlds

Surrealist art is often highly cryptic and the odd juxtapositions and ambiguous narratives can sometimes feel unnerving. This is understandable given the contradictory space between the subconscious and reality that surrealist artists navigate in their creative process. In the hands of self-proclaimed surrealist Daniel Merriam, however, the results of this process are entirely different. Merriam draws inspiration from both his fantasies and surrounding reality to create works that are both deeply pleasurable and immediately enticing. His imaginative paintings depict fantastical worlds filled with bubbles, flying fish, instrument-playing animals and tree-house castles, all rendered in dreamy watercolors.

The facility with which the viewer is able to let their imagination roam through the topographies of these paintings is a testament to Merriam’s artistic skills. He depicts what would seem to be the stuff of childhood reverie with such detail and precision that it is quite easy for our adult minds to linger in these magical worlds. Perhaps it makes sense then that Merriam was originally trained at a technical school in engineering and architecture. Now a full-time artist, he also operates his own gallery in Sausalito, appropriately titled Bubble Street, perhaps as a nod to any viewer who wishes Merriam’s visions would come true.
