Artist's Comments

For those who do not wish to switch to full view mode (or download the image) to read the poem inscribed to the right of the wounded heart:

LOVE'S FIRST TOUCH

In places loud and bent
I trace the edges of the shadows
with fingers uncertain
as my heart sighs why
and cries.

Stubbornly I linger
upon the easy silhouettes
of unlight
that lie so sensually:
There are no greater loves than we!

These black holes, ever so hungry,
find an echo in my wounded soul
and would swallow me whole
if not for soft memories
of light...

Images of love.

Late,
I turn away
toward the sky
and am blinded afresh...

But even so
I feel the warmth of the sun
upon my face.

And all is quiet.

it's a beautiful poem; sad for a love's first touch, but beautiful nonetheless. You truly are a deviant of many talents =D

"I wonder what's in a book while it's closed. I know it's full of letters printed on paper, but [..] something must be happening, because as soon as I open it, there's a whole story with people I don't know yet and all kinds of adventures and battles."

I am glad someone else was able to appreciate the poem. All of my poetry is from the heart, but -- as with my heart -- there is both dark and light in varying amounts. But as a lover of Tolkien perhaps you are better able to appreciate that. Gracias, senorita.
