Ok, so other places have forums for writers, even if they are devoted to visual arts like this site.  We don't have one here.  And I am a writer, first; have been since the age of 10.

 

Going to share some of my writing here... nothing to long, probably poetry mostly.

    Alex

    your smile, wry, and eyes,

    invariably downcast,

    never fail to brighten my day --

    and admit, must I, to a certain

    fascination with the notes

    I might find in your kiss.

    A lovely poem.

     

    Did you see Llola Lane's Story Telling thread?  http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/35081/llola-lane-s-story-telling-thread-looking-for-writers-poets-join-me-if-you-wish/p1

    I have seen that thread, Kismet. Something I have considered.

    Ganymede's Smile

    I've been dreaming
    Of you for days --
    You're always smiling
    In these dreams,
    As if you know 
    I can't find mine
    And lend me your's.

    Ganymede's Kiss

    Never take away your kisses,
    they taste of sweet smoke
    and golden apples -- 
    your lips the cup
    handsome Ganymede.

    Ever thought blending your poems on top of, or around your images? Your renders and poems are both great and together I think they would be magical.

     

  • evilded777evilded777 Posts: 2,464

    Thanks, PandaB5...i've considered it, but not yet attempted it.

  • evilded777evilded777 Posts: 2,464

    untitled, as yet

    a fragment

     

    If your kiss is what you will give,

    then I will take all that you offer

    and count myself a king among men,

    rich as Croesus with the untold treasure

    from your lips.

    I agree with Panda I think it would be super cool to do them both together...

    I did do this image as sort of an illustration, see below for the poem.

    Solve et Coagula

    or:

    The Chemical Wedding

    I had a dream last night --

    you took my hand and said to me:

    Rise.

    Together we flew from that desert

    over the highest peaks, to the place

    where Earth and Sky become one.

    We plunged into the Sea

    your hand in mine.

     

    Sleep found us 'neath the waves;

    cradled in each other's arms

    we dreamed a dream within a dream

    while the Waters loosed our bonds

    and mixed our minds,

    'til I could not tell

    who was I

    nor

    who was you.

    So, my website hads been redesigned, if you haven't seen it... and there's more poetry and some of my short fiction posted.

    Those are absolutely beautiful, evilded! You definitely have a way with words. Love your turn of phrase, it's very evident here and on your website.

    I've also written from a young age (books, short stories, poetry, music, blogs, etc). I had combined images and poems a while back. I'm trying to learn 3D to bring my characters to life (book covers, promos, websites, inspiration pics). Hadn't thought of doing that with poems.

    I have six original songs in my first novel, which is coming out next month. Still need to dust off my guitar and record them for the website. It's not going to be professional, though it would be nice to have them recorded professionally some day.

    Here's part of lullaby that's sung in the book:

    “All through the night,
    All through the night,
    May heaven’s precious light
    Watch over you
    Under the starry skies
    Under the moon
    And bring you dreams
    Of better things…
    Tonight.”

    One more, inspired by the famous Lord Byron poem, "She Walks in Beauty"

    "She walks in beauty, 
    Like the night
    With the moon in her hair
    And the stars in her eyes.

    You try to get closer,
    But she slips away.
    Like the mist and the shadows,
    Like a sweet summer rain.

    Just a beautiful dream, 
    Soft and serene 
    Fluttering by
    Deep into the night    "

    Hermes Onieropompos

    Beloved Hermes most fleet

    adroit of mind, adept at all;

    your steps touch all worlds

    and every boundary belongs to you.

     

    Your mighty father charged you

    to ferry dreams to the sleep

    of mortal men;

    for you slip the border

    'tween sleep and wakening

    and deftly weave your spells

    with stealth and grace.

     

    Hermes, companion of men,

    gift me with your grace;

    make me master of mine own dreams

    and teach to me your dream magic.

    Hermes Onieropompos, Heros Propylaios,

    open wide the gate of dreams,

    give to me that silver key the poets speak of.

     

    I ask this in your Name: Hermes Onieropompos.

    I guess I haven't written anything in a bit, but Facebook reminded me of this one today.

    Angela Knight once said of this "that's some nice writing" and I will always be thankful to her for that bit of encouragement.

    I miss your body next to mine;
    waking up with your head nestled
    up against my shoulder --
    falling asleep, half under you
    your weight against me.

    I miss your body next to mine;
    wanting to hold you
    just every day --
    missing your hand in mine,
    and the way, sometimes,
    you clasp my wrist and squeeze
    and never let go.

    I miss you body next to mine.

    With just the touch your of your hand
    I am made whole again.

    Hmmm...those are good enough that you should consider publish a book of collected poems. Not sure if you should hand draw illustrations or use DAZ Studio or take your own photographs. Given that they are written be one longing for another maybe the illustrations could be things they maybe would gather or visit and give to their mate, like flowers, chocolates, cards, various things, scenic views. Sort of like in the Bridges of Madison County the lady, Francesca, tells of how she visits places she & her boyfriend visited on his birthday & such.

    Or maybe no images at all, when the words are that good you don't want the images distracting from the person who is reading the poem's imagination longs for or imagines - that is the power of those words without the images and one shouldn't be so quick to dismiss your reader's involvement or experiences in life when they read your poems. Illustrations would do alot to stop those experiences of the reader from being expressed.

    thanks, @nonesuch00, I appreciate the comments.

    My Art Gallery

     

    I'll probably still post to my gallery here and my Deviant gallery, but it gets tiring trying to keep up with what's posted where, etc, etc.  So the focus, now that I am happy with the gallery software (sort of), will be where it really ought to be, at my own website.

    I haven't been over here in awhile since my computer mishap.  Really beautiful poems.  I was never very good at poetry.  I love reading it, but my English professors always said my assignments were not poetry when tasked to write it.  I'll stick to fiction, but I enjoy your thread very much.  I'll have to check out the website.  I haven't been over there in awhile.

  • evilded777evilded777 Posts: 2,464

    thanks @knittingmommy, I've been busy and.. avoiding some things. So I haven't been about much.

  • KnittingmommyKnittingmommy Posts: 8,191

    I hope everything is okay.  You are missed when I don't see you around the forums.

  • evilded777evilded777 Posts: 2,464

    I'm concerned, but determined not to talk about it and raise any more specters.

    Here's my third place entry from Rendo's Halloween Contest Fiction Category

    Ghouls and Glamours

  • nonesuch00nonesuch00 Posts: 18,131

    Oh, I figured you decided to compose a book of poetry. With a tool like DAZ Studio & the quality of the models it's sort of hard to discern well which renders are better than others but which your writing when it's pretty clearly better than even a large amount of poetry I've read by famous artists. Anyway, enjoy and good luck.

    Very good!  Congrats!  :)   As for the other, I won't ask.  I'm just glad you are working through whatever it is.  Happy thoughts sent your way. :)

  • evilded777evilded777 Posts: 2,464

    @knittingmommy, thanks, you're a dear.

    @nonesuch00, that is one of the things circling my mind (book of poems); as usual, thanks for the compliments, I appreciate them.

  • evilded777evilded777 Posts: 2,464

    Were you a weird kid?

  • IceDragonArtIceDragonArt Posts: 12,548

    Loved the ghoul story!

  • nonesuch00nonesuch00 Posts: 18,131

    I remember waking up plenty of times as a child and feeling where and when am I and how did I get here. Not no odd, existential or angst feeling of foreboding or threat, but a huh, duh feeling. I also remember going to sleep plenty of times in one place and waking up elsewhere but in the same house and not remember. My siblings and friends had the same experience although talking with them now I realize they don't remember the same things I do from those days and I often don't remember the same things they do. The key thing is long term we each tend to remember different things, but short term we often do remember the same things as that is how we all manage to learn and graduate school eventually. Now the long term thing is great for story tellers but awful for fact.

    Thanks @Ice Dragon Art, I was happy with it... apparently it wasn't as well recieved as some other entries to the contest.
