Dirga
24” x 48” acrylic on canvas.
”... Oh there is a murderess amongst us
Her love is a violent spiral
Hurling in upon us, conjured up
At the birth of the world
Dirga is a dancer
Mindless questions find no answers
Slicing through the ether
Yeah she’s gleaming like mother of pearl
Dirty little whirlwind…
Commander, controller, I found you
Dirty little whirlwind
I am pinned by the heat of your swirl…
Dirty little whirlwind
Defender, destroyer, I found you
Dirty little whirlwind
Tangled up in the flesh of a girl…
Oh you could curl me beside you
The spark in your eyes
belies the Apocalypse inside you
Twisting the pits from the particle
Skull can’t save face
So shake the shame from it
Burn me up inside you
Let me churn in your furnace of whirl…”

I have to say I just don’t think the title fit. It seems such a sensual pose but the shading, the line work, the porpotionment of body and head the direction of the light to dark and her captured look of take me I’m yours! It’s Magnificiently drawn. You have a great gift for art. I have to do photography because if I draw it’s cartoon characters. Yes I have a good eye for art, And I am adding you to my watchlist because I think you will continue to surprise but, I am more of a writer.
Derek Shockey replied
Thank you for the add!
i agree the title doesn’t fit as nicely as i would like, though before i change it i want to make sure i have the right title in mind… :)
Thank you again!

I’ve got a better title…how about “Come and Get me…” or “I’m doing this just so you’ll look” I have a similar picture of myself in that pose when I was trying a few different poses as a photographer and a model. It was my attempt to look sexy. I couldn’t decide between come and get me or the other..finally I decided on “Attempt at a Sexy Pose #2” Not as great as a title but it fit my series. Just throwing out suggestions. Take them with a grain of salt. :D
