The Time Has Come<\/p>\n

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.
excruciating pain
welcomed.
transforming into daylight.
i go to my knees
blood flowing
burning
crying
releasing the fury within.
stones.
tides crashing
at my feet.
telling me
no more calculations.
one true sequence.
touch something beautiful.
let me touch you
and
be
reborn.
i just want …
i just want …
i …<\/p>\n

Model and Photographer:\u00a0 Gianni Vieri, England
Art:\u00a0 Glitch (Pixel Distortion)<\/p>\n

I have never met Gianni.\u00a0 We have only conversed online via FaceBook.\u00a0 He is a stunning and unique individual and I was immediately drawn to a specific self portrait he posted.\u00a0 The photograph I used for this piece of art had me hooked immediately.\u00a0 I did the art over a period of time.\u00a0 Pixel Distortion is very time consuming and my perfectionism kicks in quickly.\u00a0 I have to put aside, look at it again, put it aside, takes days and days.\u00a0 I finished the piece a few weeks ago and this morning as I was looking at the piece, words started flowing.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 His photograph pushed my words.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
