Description
Alone is where I'll wait,and alone is where I'll be
Waiting for you
by the shore of a sea...
that thrashes, and crashes, and sings to me
Sings of things forgotten
and things yet to be
'til past and future intertwine
to embrase this dream -- this reality
A song for love
and a song for pain
A song of loss
and one for gain
A song for hope
and a song for joy
A song of dreams
of death,
... of many things
A song for you,
and a song for me --
Two lost souls...
...dancing with eternity

Well, this one took a little longer than I was planning on spending on it. But it's finally done
Hope you like it...The poem was inspired by the piece... not the other way around.
Oil on canvas 48x36"

It's lyrics to A Perfect Circle's song 'weak and powerless' I guess I should make that more clear. Glad you like the piece

Sorry... I thought that comment was for a different piece. I wrote the poem for 'Delusions of Reality' I'm sure it has some influences, but I don't think I borrowed anything directly. I hope not. Let me know if you find anything that resembles it.

THAT'S oil paint?! I was sure it was watercolor! You just managed to make this look so smooth and soft, and the colors are just fantastic... This is an amazing world you've created here, awesome job...

I was listening to an in flames song while looking at this, and I was warped off on a crazy adventure full of twisted colourful staircases and heavy metal music. Art rarely gets me high, so I'm going to fav this

completely magnificent. I love how everything merges together, the sand falls onto the steps, and the waterfall coming off of the steps. It is done so beautifully. I am so jealous

Wow....I'm loving this. Reminds me of Alice in Wonderland a lil'. I especially love the fact that the ocean is there past the doorway and the water is flowing on the steps, and the jester is just sitting there playing casually. And also that in two of the doorways I see the universe and in another one, Stonehenge. I also liked the poem very much, it's melancholy but in a way hopeful.

you know, not many people can use surreality and not let it come out forced. this is just lovely, like the first time i saw tsi-tsi kama (Sp) land of the clear water. You never know what a dream should be like until you see one. I love it. ^_^. Keep up the good work.
