cut into wood grain scraped and scarred until it takes shape becomes a creation every image a duplicate of the last fine details find their way in who am I without nape of delicate beauty faceless yet raven haired bowing to the tides I'm an echo of a familiar pattern viewed, captured yet left lonely the sky mimics the mind creates clouds that choke artist and model yet leaves them breathing cover everything in black and red then consider it done

That is an intricate image. You are very artistic in description and expression. A great talent you are. It gives me a lot to think about. Thanks for the pathways expressed--an insight to your mind. I do enjoy how different we all are from each other in style and thought and just feel lucky to see this today. This looks a bit like one of those images that has two interpretations. The cloud seems to transform into a person.

Yes I was thinking there was an outline there too. Edvard Munch artwork contains so much emotion it's hard not to write a poem when viewing it. I've sometimes written several different poems about the same piece. Van Gogh as well contains so much to write about. I'm happy you found something you enjoyed in my writing, thanks for letting me know
