*grins* I have a lot of poetry and I love critiques, so if you have a comment of any sort it would be much appreciated! I think this is my best poem to date...



Leave Me Be

Twilight surrounds me in soft lavender splendor
I see your silhouette through the mist,
You never should have followed me here,
To this my home, which is by demons possessed

Leave me be
You can't set me free
Leave me be
Why do you refuse to see? You need to
Leave me be
There is no prison key
You can find to let me out of this hell

Why did you follow me here, why do you insist
On being a white knight and making me your quest?
Can't you see the sharp barren bones of earth
Shrouded with darkness and fire
If you don't leave, you too will rouse the demon's ire

Leave me be
You can't set me free
Leave me be
Why do you refuse to see? You need to
Leave me be
There is no prison key
You can find to let me out of this hell

But no words I say could ever change your mind
Your goodness, bright still, through the darkness it shines
Please listen to me though I know I've no right
Flee the terrors that will come with the night!

Nothing can change the way I was made.
Nothing can change the way I behaved.
Nothing can change the way that I feel for you
So run! Save yourself! And leave me be!

Leave me be, you can't set me free
Let me go, already I'm dead you know
Leave me be, you don't deserve to die with me
You deserve life so let me fight and die alone
You can't set me free, there is no prison key
You can find to let me out of this hell...so
Leave me be

Free Spirit (17)

Is a soul eternity?
Forever stuck in a mold.
Hers is blackened coal.
Charred, burned by flames
Of other people’s hate. (Too late.)
She is a Halloween pumpkin,
Hollowed out
And now she is empty.

Is the soul a snapshot?
Hallowed, one moment set in stone,
Picked randomly from a deck of cards?
Pinnacle or pitfall?

She can decide now,
Because fate can give her free will
To set her spirit free.


This poem has been selected for 3 anthologies, yay. I'd love comments (don't be too harsh though, I may cry)

I tend to write stories more then poems, but *shrug* I write a few here and there, here's one I did a while back, still not sure what I think about it.

Nobody
That’s all I ever was
All I ever am
All I ever can be.

Shadow
That’s all I am
All I’m good at being
All people see me as.

Uncaring
That’s what I am
It’s forced but true
An empty smile to greet them all.

Dark
No happiness here
No way to joy
Feeling all alone

Nothing
That’s what people think of me
Ash in the air
Just to be ignored.

Ignored
That’s the word
It describes me perfectly
It’s what I am
Just ignored in a sea of people.

Immortal Ghost

Ruthless Millionaire

This is one of my unfinished ones. I don't even remember what I had planned for it crying

I was drawing Ingrid Bergman, but got frustrated at the level of detail and gave up halfway through. That's why so much of it is colored in black.

I tried this one about 5 different times. It was originally an assignment for high school art class, but I hated my previous versions. This was the last one, and probably the best.

This was obviously inspired by Witchblade (cover #17, I think).
I wanted to do multiple color versions, so I started with the ink outline, photocopied and colored it in.

This was my latest piece. I hadn't drawn for so long, I thought I lost my juju. I took a mechanical pencil, a good piece of paper, a photo of Audrey Hepburn and VOILA!

This was another unfinished drawing of Abs (singer, former boy-bander). I like his puzzled expression paired with the unfinished nature of the work.
Could almost be a stylized finished product, come to think of it.

Kind of reminds me of the Winnie the Pooh head scratch.

As Daelon frequently points out to me, I like drawing eyes. If you can get the eyes right, most of the time the rest falls into place. And I like watercolors.

I was trying to do a watercolor-detailed look (it's acrylic) before I mastered the skill. I usd to hate this one, but it's grown on me. Oh, and it's Hoku, the singer.

I was hanging out with a friend one day, with the specific intention of drawing and watching movies. It's colored pencil, pen and marker. And I think we may have watched Beauty and the Beast.

This is a collage of some of my ink and colored pencil stuff that was mostly just doodling. That's Tomb Raider in the top left corner.

I like how you rhyme. I go for free verse most of the time. I like the tone and flow, too. You rock.
