This poem just came to me.beleive it or not i was looking at a sultry Jessica Galbreth painting when this came into my head!It doesn't have a title yet,any suggestions??

 

She hid her sultry eyes

And put away her charms

A cover on the light

Of self that shone so bright

 

Of herself she left

A shadow of what was

What once sparkled

Now hidden in the gloom

A distant memory

The echo of herself

 

Let's hope she finds a guide

A beacon in the dark

Or else she may fade away

A whisper on the wind. 

I am not a poet although i like poetry.This came into my mind this evening,it is not faerie related but i thought i'd share.My bit of angst!

 

 

                        FLICKER

Flicker           
I see it once, and then it's gone
I think I have imagined it
I tell myself it was not there
Not to look for it

But I should have read the signs
Portents in the sky
Should have felt the warning in my bones
The whisper ‘not mine'

Flicker
In the corner of my mind
It did not lie
I chose to be blind

I cannot win this fight
I've seen it lost before
Wanted to deny the truth
But there's no denying what's in your eye
As they meet not mine

You share a look
Not for me
I feel I am intruding
I should have seen

Wishing for a life
That could not be mine
I won't live a lie
I will burn bright or not at all

So I walk away
The candle flame flickers back to life
Mine blown out
I leave with no goodbye
It is me that has flickered out
Out of time
I am out of time

 

Does anyone have any advice on how to get over creative blocks?I never used to have this problem but for years now i find it so hard to draw/paint.I can do other creative things no problem,just find it hard to do what i want most!Has any one else experienced this.or am i just odd?!!Help!

Just a short Blog.For any Brian Froud fans who don't know,his new book is out!The book is called World of Faery and is BEAUTIFUL!!!I got mine through Amazon,i'd been eagerly waiting for it's release for months.Brian also has an article in the current ImagineFX magazine.(Digital art magazine)Labyrinth and Dark Crystal are being released as anniversary edditions,both two disc sets.ImagineFX is for the digital artist but i find it worthwhile anyway.It is abit pricey but this issue features Faerie art workshop, you also get a disc with workshops and demos.
