In my chamber Of artistic endeavor She sits on a chair Unmoving Like a block of stone I with chisel and knife Cut her up Piece by piece She is stoic She never cries I see no pain in her eyes Gently, I carve her in my vision I will mold her I will hold her I will told her Stories of my past She will be my prisoner Of the heart She has no where to run I have no where to hide Love Stone cold Emotions warm In Silence We both mourn The histories The stories The memories My love I created In Stone I have her on display For you too, to see my suffering I am the sculptor

Good Creative write , Arthur, our art tells us a lot when we start to create in our mind, it speaks to us until we finally have it right then we stand back and admire our creation when we are done 7 blessings

Oh....how passionate this piece is. She is beautiful....She is your prisoner, but she won't come to life, Arthur. Lovely piece. I wrote something on a similar vein about a woodcarver.
