Desiderata (Latin for “desired things”) You are a child of the universe, / no less than the trees and the stars; / you have a right to be here. / And whether or not it is clear to you, / no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, / whatever you conceive Him to be, / and whatever your labors and aspirations, / in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, / it is still a beautiful world. CREDITS: / Thank you very much to these wonderful stock artists.

Drawn 2008. Age 21. “In the cold dampness I quietly rest against the crumbling wall with my eyes closed; hoping in vain to be forgotten and left alone”* This was just a quick sketch using black biro pen on standard plan paper. I am hoping to expand upon this idea in a more developed drawing sometime in the distant future…
Don’t fall off! / Something metaphorical about this one.
I stand, I stare / I wonder, where? I pray, I breathe / to stay, or leave? I live, I lie / I wonder, why? I love, I pain / I feel the same. I give, I get / and yet, and yet? Shot on Werneth Low, Hyde. Overlooking Manchester City Centre
2008. Age 21 This started as a simple pen sketch (just quickly jotting down some ideas), but now i feel very happy with the finished result. I’d love to hear what you think it means… Thank you for viewing my artwork.
1 Thessalonians 4:16 / For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: / Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. / / / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / / Canon 400d / /

for Now here’s my darkside “My Darkside” seeks to explore issues of identity and meaning and the questioning of one’s life and purpose over time and beyond time. There is deliberate loneliness and isolation as the viewer is invited to journey in the small boat in the moonlight of her face. The only light that the moon has to offer is a reflection of the sun, other than that it is nothing but a cold dark stone. Acrylic and Mixed Media on Canvas / February 2009 / 92cm x 92cm

Oh no / And for every flower that grows, even a baby knows / That as sure as the candle burns / Every soul must return

My Website SP I Knew I Loved You Maybe it’s intuition / but some things you just don’t question / Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant / And there it goes, / I think I found my best friend / I know that it might sound / more than a little crazy / but I believe… I knew I loved you before I met you / I think I dreamed you into life / I knew I loved you before I met you / I have been waiting all my life There’s just no rhyme or reason / Only the sense of completion / And in your eyes, I see / the missing pieces I’m searching for / I think I’ve found my way home / I know that it might sound / more than a little crazy / but I believe… I knew I loved you before I met you / I think I dreamed you into life / I knew I loved you before I met you / I have been waiting all my life A thousand angels dance around you / I am complete now that I’ve found you I knew I loved you before I met you / I think I dreamed you into life / I knew I loved you before I met you / I have been waiting all my life I knew I loved you before I met you / I think I dreamed you into life / I knew I loved you before I met you / I have been waiting all my life Savage Garden

The photo of the crow is mine. The verse from The Raven describing this scene is: Deep into that darkness peering, / long I stood there wondering, fearing, / Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal / ever dared to dream before / But the silence was unbroken, / and the darkness gave no token, / And the only word there spoken was / the whispered word, `Lenore!’ / This I whispered, and an echo murmured / back the word, `Lenore!’ / Merely this and nothing more. / / The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe / Published January 29, 1845 / / Click the link ABOVE to hear “Edgar Allen Poe” read his poem. The Raven is often noted for its musicality, stylized language, and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a talking raven’s mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man’s slow descent into madness. The lover is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. The raven seems to further instigate his distress with its constant repetition of the word “Nevermore”. (Wikipedia) /
The house sits like her heart… Empty, once full of love and life, now the halls echo with the laughter..the joy of their love, Memories of happiness are all she has. He left for work that day with a kiss to her lips, a “I love you” on his way out the door, she waved to him out the window and blew him a kiss..if she only knew that would be the last time she tasted his kiss, felt his touch,she would never have let him go..The only relief out of all this pain and heartache is he didn’t suffer, when the truck hit his car head on, he died instantly. Now she waits, unable to leave their home, not wanting to go on, knowing that he waits for her..she prays for “HER” life after death, to be in his arms again, to feel his kiss, his touch, to make this house their home for eternity, the way it should have been..but again she wakes to the emptiness of the halls, the emptiness of their bed and of her heart..she goes to the window and like a movie played over and over agiain she sees him getting into his car..she pounds on the window..yells for him to STOP!!!..to COME BACK!!!...and like every day he pulls away and disappears into thin air…leaving her again.to her pain, and their empty house.

having a relationship with someone with mental illness can be very taxing. This is just a vent on being the one trying to interact with the one suffering from depression and/or bi-polar disorder. / It is so hard trying to balance the want to be with someone who is not there much of them time…wanting to love them, wanting them there...and the plain, hard fact that they cannot be alot of the time due to their illness – medication or not.
Cave Life was telling; / This is where she sees her shadow. / Deep tones of dark she never knew existed / breaking free seemed impossible / until they held each others hand. / . / All Havoc broke loose and so did her life / She Saw Patterns, Colors and light / And then she knew her light needed her shadow / to exist.
