Acylic on Canvas, 95 x 120 cm

I have always resonated with the Poem written by Carol Ann Duff called " Valentine" were she compares Love to an onion. Sharing this beautiful written piece with you. It evokes the meaning behind this piece so beautifully.

I give you an onion.
It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.
It promises light
like the careful undressing of love.

Here.
It will blind you with tears
like a lover.
It will make your reflection
a wobbling photo of grief.

I am trying to be truthful.

Not a cute card or a kissogram.

I give you an onion.
Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips,
possessive and faithful
as we are,
for as long as we are.

Take it.
Its platinum loops shrink to a wedding ring,
if you like.
Lethal.
Its scent will cling to your fingers,
cling to your knife.
