Doomed
The boy did shed his happiness
The girl her sweet perfume
But ah! Alas! I cannot laugh 'cause
I love mortal doom
The artist paints disease on
The brick beguiling wall of existence
A requiem forlorn
Or with master strokes portrays
The hidden beauty of universal form

I love this because it is so open for interpretation….just as most wonderful/excellent art work and poetry. Thanks for sharing your talent, you embody what art is about…..therefore explaining the name, 'I_ArtMan' :heart:Sarah

Oooh, the pain of being an artist? Having to turn his back on innocense and playfulness??Well, how would I know; I´m not an artist.I like the contrasting painting – two worlds, colur/greytones, heaven/hell – yin/yang? But I notice there´s a distant bridge connecting the two.
very good comments. i love feedback. thanks for the accolade sarah.yes D, four years sober… what a difference.good point you make allan… there is a bridge. but notice it's far away and it's a long one. your first comment is germaine also. i was lucky to read faust when i was a youngster and made sure that it wasn't all work and no play. through my life though there were times when i felt i had to forgo impulsive restlessness and buckle down for a period of work.
Crazy but cool. Be carefull, I hear alot of painters go mad.
i hear it's because of the chemicals affiliate421. thanks for the warning… i'll stop licking my brushes.
Hi Scott,The poem and painting are both moving and go well with each other. Others have stated the contrasts (in the painting) way better than I can. Thanks for a great post. And here's a :coffee: for your 4-year anniversary :up:Regards,Marcus
downed with gratitude marcus. thanks for reminding me to have another cup of coffee.
