invisible
ink on watercolor paper.
i never became the prince charming i thought i would grow into.
i never became the rock star i thought i would be.
my work does not sell in galleries in soho or hang in itialian museums.
i never became a jet-fighter pilot or architecht.
women don’t trip on the sidewalk when i pass.
most opportunities presented to me are passed up.
i have let most of my friends vanish into the fog of my memory.
i have let most of my memories go into the fog of the past.
despite any company i may keep, i am mostly alone.
there are fractions of me that belong to those few, close people.
no matter how quiet and simple my life is,
no matter how many nights i cannot (or chose to not) sleep,
no matter how many walks i take alone,
i am not lonely.
i do not need more.
those truly close to me give me more love than i ever thought i could have.
when i look into the mirror i am faced with a surprising man.
although i may aspire to more,
for now, my simple life fits me like a glove.

Your portrait is fantastic to say the least, I love the lines that add great depth and texture. I’m sure you already know that you have natural talent. Again your words are so powerful. I think many of us remember that feeling of wanting to be seen “INSIDE” not just the physical person. That’s seems to be a part of what every artist goes through. But you seem to have your feet on the ground and your art is helping you to become “VISIBLE”.

I found myself flush. I am gregarious…I’m an open book personality….yet I found this portrait so intimate, I flushed. WELL done.

Really wonderful combination of words and image. Though either can stand alone, in combination they are very strong. Love the colors and the way the background falls like an intangible curtain, as if cutting off the world.
