The Time Has Come
tormented with dreams
i wake up a thoughtless sinner.
hardened heart.
i have fallen.
demons scratching at my soul
locked up
thrashing
screaming.
i ache for the love of one.
kiss me and release me
let me into your heart
and I will dance.
let me be free
from myself.
gift me a blade
i will slice my skin
and tear it off.

transforming into daylight.
i go to my knees
blood flowing

tides crashing

Model and Photographer: Gianni Vieri, England
Art: Glitch (Pixel Distortion)
I have never met Gianni. We have only conversed online via FaceBook. He is a stunning and unique individual and I was immediately drawn to a specific self portrait he posted. The photograph I used for this piece of art had me hooked immediately. I did the art over a period of time. Pixel Distortion is very time consuming and my perfectionism kicks in quickly. I have to put aside, look at it again, put it aside, takes days and days. I finished the piece a few weeks ago and this morning as I was looking at the piece, words started flowing.
The poem does not necessarily reflect emotions I felt while looking at the art, but more what I have been feeling and the art exposed my emotions. His photograph pushed my words.
Gianni and I are in the process of doing a formal shoot and thus more artwork will be forth coming in the form of paintings, sketches, and digital pieces.
Cheers, Drew Frederic
